Winemaker's Notes:

 This wine is made by blending Malbec from the three best growing areas in Mendoza. In these areas, the grapes develop sweet tannins, intense fruit and good acidity/sugar balance, combining the characteristics of each area. Red purple color. Intense black fruits and red plum aromas. Smooth and concentrated tannins in the mouth.

"Intense inky hue with a purple rim. Heady aromas of mint, raspberry and plum. The plum theme continues in the flavor with the addition of a fudge-like sweetness. A ripe, drinkable wine with a balancing dash of black pepper in the close."

About Gascon:

 Tradition and innovation blended harmoniously when a spirited Don Miguel Escorihuela sailed penniless from Spain to Argentina in 1880. Four years later, he purchased 42 acres of land that would become the cornerstone of an exceptional wine making history.

Don Miguel Escorihuela Gascón and his descendants became known in Argentina for their consistently outstanding wines and for their unconventional undertakings.
