“Non-traditional”, early harvesting, fermented and aged in concrete eggs this is a rustic, yet seductive example of Argentinian Malbec. It needs time in the glass to open up and it’s really rewarding once it does!

Some old world earthiness to this Malbec. Plummy, but not overpowering. Smooth finish. Like all Malbecs, you've got to let it breathe. This gets better as it breathes more.

Nose is all oak and vanilla but the fruit on the palate is awesome! Berries for days and a "clean laundry" finish that goes on for ever and ever. Juicy, succulent everything you want in a fruit bomb

I should have bought more of this. Really good wine for the price. Juicy with the perfect amount of oak.
