Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from our own vineyard planted in 2004 in Valle Azul in the deserd, which is cultivated Bio-Dynamically and drip irrigated. Other grapes are sourced from the INTA (Agricultural Research Centre) and a producer that we lease from. The grapes are 90% Malbec and 9% Merlot and a 1% of Petit–Verdot.The picking of the grapes starts from early February until end of March.

Very round and juicy, with inviting crushed plum, blackberry and pastis notes laced with graphite and licorice on the friendly finish. Very tasty. Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
