WINE OVERVIEW
An iconic 100% old-vine Malbec from the 80-year old Rosas Vineyard in the Uco Valley.
Tasting Notes
Deep, dark color—you could use it in an inkwell! Dense and concentrated but never loses its ability to exude the red and black fruits and spice that are the true expression of Malbec in Mendoza. This is a huge wine that is a blend of old-vine grapes from 2 of Mendoza’s most respected growers, located in two different districts. Only 4 barrels produced. While you certainly could drink this now, it will improve considerably with 3-5 years in the bottle. If you do drink it now, decant a few hours before drinking.
Food Pairing
Try with meats such as beef, pork or chicken. Pairs well with aged cheeses.
