Why We Love It
A blend of 90% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Franc matured in large oak casks. It features a deep violet colour, aromas of black cherry, wild plum, and blackberry with undertones of dark chocolate and oak spice. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, and smooth with fine-grained tannins and mineral-driven acidity.
