ORIGIN
Calchaqui Valley, Argentina.

exceptional wines: highly concentrated, rich in color, aromas and flavor. Poor sandy soils, moderate
winds, high sun exposure, low humidity and an altitude exceeding 1800 meters | 6000 feet make this
terroir unique in this world.
VARIETAL
41% Malbec
34% Cabernet Sauvignon
25% Cabernet Franc
WINEMAKING
• Concentrated bunches of small grains manually harvested in 18Kg plastic bins.
• Second selection done in the crushing area keeping only the free run juice with greater
concentration.
• Fermentation in small stainless steel vats and spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
• Aged separately in small French barrels for 12 months.
• Blended, the wine is then placed again in French barrel for 6 extra months.
• Bottled unfiltered and un-stabilized to preserve the unique character.
Colour
Intense dark color with lively violet edges. Thick, dense with concentrated legs appreciated on the glass.
Aroma
Complex and delicate bouquet, where aromas like black chocolate , toasted oak, and red fruits marmalade outstand.
Palate
Very fruity as a Malbec. Presence of mature and vigorous tannins. Liquorish. Flavor of chocolate and oak are mixed in a perfect harmony. Long persistent entrance with a chalky finish.
