Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028
From low-yielding Malbec vines grown in Agrelo at 900m, hand-picked and fermented with natural yeast, then aged for 12 months in French oak. Black cherry aromas with a whisper of spice. Ripe, velvety black fruit is balanced by a long, fresh, spicy, herbal finish, with rounded tannins.
