Dressed in a dark and deep purple, the glass harmonizes classy notes of
noble oak and cedar, cigar box and graphite with a dazzling fruit made of
blueberries, red currants, wild plums above violets tones, underbrush and
dried leaves. Race and elegance melted in a great rigorous complexity.

First and unique Limarí Malbec, this single vineyard comes from the only
variety block planted in the valley. Its profile is logically different and
fresher than what has been dictated by the famous “Malbec fashion” of the
late 2000. The cool climate is the insurance of a slow and balanced ripeness
granting a great and faithful personality. The wine is an autumnal bouquet
accompanied by its noble oak aging, powered by a deep architecture and
vibrant freshness. Sheer spirit without compromises.
TASTING NOTES: Dressed in a dark and deep purple, the
glass harmonizes classy notes of noble oak and cedar, cigar box and graphite
with a dazzling fruit made of blueberries, red currants, wild plums above
violets tones, underbrush and dried leaves. Race and elegance melted in a
great rigorous complexity. The mouth is straight, very lively and
structured. Thanks to a precise acidity, the freshness makes the aromas
shine and a lot of small and tight tannins bring depth and vigor. Still
young and promising, this architecture will of course offer even more.
However, the yet rich and long finish already gives its wild berries,
mineral and spicy notes wrapped in an autumnal breeze. Winemaker: Jose Pablo Martin
