Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Grown at 2,035 metres in Cafayate, this is Malbec at full volume — dense black cherry and plum wrapped in violet and lavender, carrying the smoky, mineral edge that high-altitude Calchaquí fruit gives. Eighteen months in new French oak and no filtration leave it powerful and firmly tannic in youth; give it air, or give it years, and the fruit unfurls into something savoury and incense-like.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
