Intense aromas of violet, blackberry and black cherry on the nose with spiced notes of vanilla and pepper in the background. Integrated oak brings complexity and balance to the rich fruit notes and with it, silky tannins. Bold and elegant with an excellent finish. A rich, hearty wine that would pair brilliantly with a duck ragu or grilled red meat.
Wine is aged in first use French and second use American oak barrels to add body and to allow the natural characteristics of the fruit develop over a period of 10 months. After a further 12 months in the bottle, the vintage is released.
Located in the high producing Maipu region of Mendoza; intense sunlight during the day and cold nights, cooled by the winds from the nearby Andes slows ripening overnight, extending the growing season. Stony, sandy soil stresses the vines and helps produce highly concentrated fruit.
