The Malbec grapes for this wine come from hand harvested vines in Luján de Cuyo (at 3200 feet high) and Maipú (2,500 feet high). Deeply colored, densely flavored with suggestions of cherry and dark berry, and with a good grip of tannins towards the finish this wine is tasty, affordable and a good match with a variety of foods, from informal meat-based dishes and hearty vegetarian fare — think curried lentils, black-bean burgers, mushroom stroganoff.
