The vines, planted between 1993 and 2013 across high-altitude terroirs ranging from 1,120 to 1,450 meters, express the freshness and precision of limestone soils. Limited production and a non-interventionist approach, aged exclusively in François Frères French oak barrels.
On the nose, notes of red fruits, spices, and a herbal character of thyme. Medium to high acidity, slightly mineral, vertical profile, and well-integrated oak. It pairs well with guinea fowl with mushrooms or delicate gastronomic dishes. Aging potential of 8 to 12 years.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine region in Argentina. Set on a high altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, the province accounts for around 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape Malbec has found its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is without doubt the star of the region, you will also find many plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc.
