An impressive, rich yet bright Malbec from vineyards aged between 40 -45 years where its vines are trained on overhead pergolas. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
A classic Malbec from Nieto's premium Agrelo vineyards, with flavours reminiscent of those desert soils. Dark, dense complex nose with sweet cranberries, blackberries and rich mocha characters. The palate is smooth and rounded with supple tannins and a long intense pure finish with hints of bitter chocolate and spice along with some bright black and red berry fruit. The evolution to organically farmed vineyards, and therefore lower yields, gives the wine an additional spine of minerality, black tea notes and further concentration, however whats stands this apart is it's freshness and vibrancy, big but not heavy or tiring.
Great with hearty foods.
