Grapes are hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and finesse. This process highlights the unique terroir of Mendoza’s calcareous and limestone-rich soils at elevations of 900–1,200 meters, delivering a wine that marries the bold fruit of Malbec with the refined structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting sustainable practices and Bordeaux-inspired craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis blend displays a deep garnet-purple hue with aromas of blackberry liqueur, cassis, and crushed violets, complemented by notes of mocha, graphite, and a hint of sweet spice.
