Winemakers notes: From the Finca La Esperanza Vineyard in the Uco Valley, this award-winning wine is made by Gonzalo Bertelsen. The last seven vintages have scored 90+ points 12 different times! Distinct aromatic complexity with outstanding notes of red fruits, floral aromas of violets, vanilla and cigar. On the palate, blackberry fruit and spices. The medium structure and silky tannins are perfectly balanced with the delicious natural acidity, leading to a prolonged finish. Pair with barbeque roasts, fresh pasta and hard cheeses. 100% Malbec.
Tasting notes: With an attractive and intense violet color, it displays ripe red fruit aromas such as plums and red and black cherries, with a strong floral presence perfectly combined with vanilla and chocolate granted by the oak. In the mouth, it is mild with sweet and velvety tannins. A 2% Petit Verdot and just 1% Cabernet Franc contribute to good balance, elegance and personality.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling 93
"A structured malbec with blueberry and licorice aromas and flavors that are buttressed with stone undertones. Like the minerality. Full body. Structured tannins. Fresh and vibrant. This needs a year or two to soften."
Food Pairing: Delicious with beef dishes, cheeses, pasta, lamb, burgers and pizza.
