Tasting Notes

The grapes go through an incredibly stringent selection process – first, the best Malbec vines on the property are selected, following that, bunch selection at harvest and finally, post destemming, individual berry selection. Post fermentation, the wine spends 18 months in predominantly French oak. This all results in a wine that is full-bodied, yet elegant and vibrant – expect red and dark fruit, coconut and tobacco. Tannins are gentle and the finish is incredibly long.
