Winemaking:

The vineyards are located at the foot of the Andes, in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level, in a privileged terroir with a dry climate, a wide thermal amplitude and soils that allow us to obtain an aromatically expressive, full-bodied and naturally acidic Malbec, from which we make excellent quality wines.

After the harvest at the end of March, the grape clusters were transported to the processing plant in 18-kilo crates, where, after a strict selection, they were placed in stainless steel 100 hl tanks for three weeks of maceration, pumping over, manual trampling and finally traditional fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.

According to Mihály Fabók, the Hungarian sommelier champion:

It has a deeper ruby ​​hue in color, with youthful purple notes on the edges, framed by a spectacular glycerin ring. After aeration, its increasingly rich aromas intensify with noble oak aromas, barrel spices, black-fleshed forest fruits, sour cherries and dark chocolate. The rich and concentrated aromatics known in the aroma continue in the taste, complemented by a large body and a ripe velvety texture. Its deep flavor world and solid ripe structure, as well as the typical aromas of the variety and the characteristics provided by the growing area, combine in this creation. In its endless finish, almost sweet tannins provide lasting memories of Malbec and Mendoza.

Its ripe, solid and deep structure, as well as its large body, distinctive flavors and spicy oak aromas, make it a great match for noble big game served with forest mushrooms and fruits, beef steaks, premium dark chocolate, or even consumed on its own.
