Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Mendoza red. The grape is not recorded, and while Malbec is the overwhelming likelihood the province also grows serious Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda and Syrah — so treat the varietal detail as open. What holds across all of them is what altitude does: intense high-desert sunlight ripens the fruit fully while cold nights preserve acidity and thicken skins. Expect ripe dark berry and plum with violet, cocoa and a warm spiced frame, full-bodied with ripe rounded tannin and enough freshness underneath to stop it turning heavy. If your label names the variety, that would sharpen this.
