Tasting Note
Concentrated, pure Malbec: juicy red and dark fruit with orange peel, iron/blood minerality and a fine limestone/saline finish; bright acidity, elegant structure and long mineral aftertaste.

Food Pairing
Grilled or roasted beef and lamb, steak, roast duck, mature cheeses; Asian: Korean BBQ, char siu or hoisin duck, Sichuan beef, spicy bulgogi, mushroom-based Chinese or Japanese dishes.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested, rigorous cluster selection; gravity transfer; fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks and aging in concrete vats to preserve purity and terroir expression.
