Very nice Malbec from vines with up to 80 years of age. The nose is briary, earthy and deep, with purity and power. And the palate is juicy, lively and packs enticing flavors of plum, blackberry, cured meat and vanilla. Warming, ripe stuff. Delicious and ready to drink.
In addition to the two Malbec wines they produce out of the "Vina Violeta" site, the winery has recently begun producing small quantities of old vine Semillon from a heritage vineyard in Perdriel. As production is limited by the small size of these two vineyards, each of these wines have become "cult" items in their native Mendoza. All are produced organically and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
