Description
This outstanding blend is the result of the aromatic complexity of Malbec, the spices of Syrah, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the personality of Petit Verdot. Its aging in French oak barrels enhances and balances this blend, making it a noble aged wine.
Blend: 40% Malbec, 30% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet and 15% Syrah.
Origin of the grapes: Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes come from our own vineyards in La Consulta, Uco Valley. Petit Verdot and Syrah come from our vineyards in Barrancas, Maipú.
Wine-making Process: Traditional winemaking process, hand-picked grapes, cold maceration at 50°F (10ºC), fermentation between 79 (26ºC) and 82°F (28ºC), riddling and delestage processes as well as post-fermenting maceration and malolactic fermentation.
Barrel Aging: 16 months in French oak barrels. 6 months at a controlled temperature of 59°F (15ºC).
Tasting Notes: At first sight, a deep red color appears, then showing some subtle hints of bordeaux. On the nose, aromas of black fruits prevail. This wine also presents a distinct smokiness and notes of toasted almonds, spices and vanilla. On the palate, it is ample, well-structured and with a long aftertaste.
Pairing: Game meats, such as deer and wild boar; pasta with spiced sauces; grilled meats and vegetables.
