Tasting Notes:  A Malbec full of electricity with a calcareous soil profile   located at more than 1300 m.a.s.l. Fighting to survive in   these unique, extreme conditions, the plant has developed a   resistance that results in robust, independent wines. The   tannins play a huge role in this wine´s allure, speaking of   persistence, lingering in the mouth. This wine is best   enjoyed with food.

Pairing:  Ideal to combine with grilled red meats and typical   Argentinean  asado.

Drinking
