Drinking Window: 2021 - 2026
This organic Malbec is sourced from Altamira in the Uco Valley and spends 16 months in a combination of Frenck oak foudres and concrete eggs. Ripe berries and black cherry on the nose, with an edge of violet. A core of juicy, ripe, spicy black fruit, underpinned by minerality and freshness, with fine, structured tannins. Long spicy finish.
