The Story
This limited-edition Malbec is a high-end expression of the Mendoza terroir, crafted by Antigal Winery & Estates using grapes from selected vineyard blocks at the foot of the Andes. To maintain the fruit's integrity, the winery employs a gravity-flow system that avoids forceful pumping. The wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, resulting in a violet-red profile with a silky texture. It is characterized by ripe plum, strawberry, and blackberry flavors, complemented by sophisticated notes of violets, vanilla, and milk chocolate, and brightened by well-preserved natural acidity.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb shank, barbecued beef ribs, venison stews, and aged gouda or manchego cheeses.
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Black tea, clove and cinnamon form an aromatic bouquet. Bright berry flavors blend with dark chocolate and whispers of chai spices. This is a friendly and spicy Malbec with a lingering finish.
