Drinking Window: 2022 - 2028
A blend of grapes from La Zulema vineyard at 979m in Agrelo and Viñedos de Don Antonio at 1,200m in the Uco Valley. Ripe, rich and spicy aromas of black berries and raspberry, with a floral edge. Smooth palate, with marked freshness from the high altitude vines and good depth of clean black fruit. Ageing for 12 months in second- and third-use French oak lends structure and spice. An assured and enjoyable Malbec.
