Tasting notes

Bright red with brick hues. On the nose, a marked spicy aroma reminiscent of black pepper, cherries, olives, herbs, truffles and leather. On the palate it presents a good structure characteristic of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal, and a long and smooth finish as a result of its correct evolution.

Production notes

Privileged area that has a particular microclimate of dry summers, with warm, sunny days and cool nights. Notable thermal amplitude that favours thedevelopment of the grapes, reaching a great concentration of aromas.Cabernet Sauvignon: Cruz de Piedra, Mendoza. Cultivated in 1993, at 870 meters above sea level. 4,600 plants per hectare and yields of 6,000 k/ha. Drip irrigation.Malbec: Agrelo, Mendoza. Cultivated in 1927, at 1100 meters above sea level. 5,000 plants per hectare and yields of 5,000 k/ha. Furrow irrigation.
Co-fermentation of Malbec from Agrelo and Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipú, manually selected in the vineyard. Fermentation begins with the Malbec, whose skins will remain in permanent contact with the liquid, so that the Cabernet is then extracted only by means of gentle pumping overs, thus avoiding its over-extraction. It is aged for 12 months in 4,000-litre French oak foudres.
