Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027
Malbec from high-altitude organic vineyards in Gualtallary is hand-harvested and aged in French oak for eight months. Warmly spiced aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant and crushed raspberry. Plenty of appeal on the well-balanced palate, with rounded tannins, spicy black fruit – liquorice and star anise – plus dried herbs sprinkled on the finish. An ideal partner for steak.
