Sourced from Nieto’s 40 year old vineyards in Lujan de cuyo, Mendoza. 40% of the liquid ages 6-8 months in third use French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTE
A deep dense blockbuster from 40+ year old vines. Blackberry plum fruit and sweet spice. The palate is silky and warming with more black fruit and cherries. The wine is vibrant with an alluring blend of fruit along with clove, pepper and cinnamon spice finished off with well-structured integrated tannins. A great wine with a fresh finish.
FOOD MATCH
A treat with rich, red sauce based pasta dishes, game and semi-cured cheese.

A vibrant, spicy example of a punchy Malbec from the home of Malbec. Had this with a Spanish Chorizo stew, perfect! Ordered many of these over the years.
