Tasting note
The best grapes from the Río Seco, Alto Río Seco and Alto los Cuises vineyards. A Malbec base supported by Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tannat and Petit Verdot, with barrel ageing for 12 and 24 months before being blended then bottle aged for 12 months. A crips textured wine with notes of blackberries, kirsch, and eucalyptus plus nutty notes and sweet spice.
Viticulture
Known for its stunning red rock formations, high-altitude Cafayate Valley has an extreme desert climate, poor soils, warm days/ cool nights and very little rainfall makes it easy to practice integrated, sustainable and organic viticulture. Further, the wide thermal amplitude allows grapes to become highly concentrated, resulting in smooth, delicious wines.
Vinification
The alcoholic fermentation of the three varieties was carried out in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place in oak barrels. We make a selection of the best French oak barrels of 500 liters. Our wine remains there from 22 to 24 months.
Food Match
Grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised short ribs, or lambs shanks. Aged cheeses, hearty stews, and dishes that have rich, savoury sauces.
