It is characterised by an intoxicating aroma that acquires a fruity tone thanks to the considerable difference in temperature between night and day. It only exists in Argentina and it is cultivated with devotion in the North Eastern lands, in vines with a strong personality that develop on dry and complex terrains. It has a fruity, very expressive and pleasant taste. The fruit and the acidity are well balanced when served chilled and it is ideal for any occasion.

MALBEC
Red WineMalbec possesses a profoundly fruity character with delicate tannins. Its blue-black medium-sized grapes, clustered in medium, slightly open bunches, give off a particularly intense perfume due to the wide temperature variation between day and night. It reaches complete polyphenolic maturity at the end of a slow development. It has a sweet after-taste also due to very soft tannins, resulting from slow ripening during cool, prolonged autumns. It gives off intense aromas of red berries nuanced with a spicy hint of black pepper.
