Grape Variety

Malbec

Aromatic with delightful floral, violets and red cherry fragrances, this is a medium to full bodied wine. On the palate, more dark black fruit flavours emerge and while there is no obvious oak, it has a firm savoury finish. A very concentrated and mellow wine, it’s perfectly balanced with the potential to develop. Malbec vines are cultivated on slopes at 1,450 metres. Grapes were fermented with indigenous yeast in concrete eggs, then the wine matured in used French oak barrels for eight months.
