A deep, brooding blend of malbec and cabernet franc. All co-fermented. Lots of herbs, purple flowers and purple fruit with a touch of iodine. Broad, concentrated and juicy on the palate with lots of sappy fruit and plenty of ultra-fine, silky tannins. Better in a year or two. Drink from 2024.

Malbec is a very intense wine and it is Cabernet-Franc who brings elegance and subtlety with very soft tannins and rose aromas. All these components provide the complexity and elegance wich are necesary for a great wine.
