Production
Selected by longstanding winemaker Roberto Gonzalez from Nieto's vineyards aged between 40 -45 years where it vines are trained on overhead pergolas. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting notes
Brooding and intense. A classic Malbec from Nieto's premium 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. The evolution to organically farmed vineyards, and therefore lower yields, gives the wine an additional spine of minerality, black tea notes and further concentration.
Food match
This malbec was made for steak.
