Winemaker Notes
This is without question one of a favorite Malbec bottlings in terms of authenticity, character, and depth. If you ever wanted to know what "Agrelo" Malbec tastes like at its best, let this be your lesson. Rarely do we come across a wine that communicates "place" as this does. Brilliant color, wild aromatics, rich mid-palate, incredible texture, this has it all.

Wine & Spirits
Marked by notes of cinnamon, this slowly reveals fresher hints of violets and cherries that lend it a seductive complexity. It's not a grand wine, but it's balanced with lively acidity and vibrant tannins. An excellent companion for oxtails.

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.
