▼ Tasting Notes
Appearance An impenetrable, mesmerizing deep violet—so dark the bottom of the glass disappears into its depth.
Aroma An overwhelming concentration of blackberries, figs, and simmered plum jam. Layers of licorice, spice, and freshly roasted coffee emerge, revealing seductive, sensory changes as the wine breathes.
Palate Remarkably full-bodied, yet surprisingly elegant. Precise, velvety tannins deliver both power and sophistication simultaneously. A symphony of complex layers leads into an eternal finish. Here lies the true essence of Malbec.
A Celestial Terroir: The 80-Year-Old Miracle 1,200m Altitude—The Soul of Gualtallary. Sourced exclusively from Vieilles Vignes (old vines) in Gualtallary, the "crown jewel" of the Uco Valley. Only these deep-rooted, 80-year-old vines can yield such profound structure and complexity.
The Art of the Harvest The Silence of the "18kg" Selection. In the stillness before dawn, the grapes are hand-picked at their absolute peak. To ensure no berry is crushed by its own weight, they are transported in small 18kg crates. Only the "chosen ones" pass our rigorous vineyard selection to enter this bottle.
Winemaking & 24 Months of Mastery Extracting the power of nature through artisanal skill. With minimal stress on the fruit, we use cold maceration and délestage to build a powerful yet silky structure. The wine matures for 24 months in new French and American oak barrels. It possesses an extraordinary aging potential, capable of evolving beautifully for 10 to 20 years.
