The grape variety of choice in Mendoza, Malbec flourishes here, producing a ripe wine with intense aromas of black fruits and spices. Gourmet on the palate, with excellent volume. A fine introduction to Argentine Malbec!

Medium density colour, enormous acidity, very unpleasant, anything but gourmet! Obvious lack of maturity or bottle problem?
