Each vineyard receives expertise that is tailored to each grape variety via specific treatments called Terroir Management®. The wine undergoes extended maceration to extract aromas and intense color. Part of the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, before an additional 3 months aging in bottle. tasting note: The wine has ripe, red fruit aromas and spicy notes, with round, soft tannins and a lively mouthfeel. food pairing: This wine pairs well with grilled pork tenderloin, lamb and veal with fresh herbs. 100% Estate Grown. The grapes come from Argentina’s best terroirs: Malbec and Cabernet from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley in Mendoza, Torrontes from Cafayate in Salta. Each vineyard receives Terroir Management® treatments. Low yields of only 1.5 bottles per vine. Extended aging in oak gives the wine more structure.
