79% Malbec, 11% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot. The 2020 vintage is mainly Malbec, our emblematic variety, which provides violet and plum aromas, an amazing concentration, and rounded, soft, velvety tannins. The Cabernet Franc adds significant spice and complexity. Cabernet Sauvignon enhances the mouth feel, reaching a better structure and more complex aromas. And finally, the Petit Verdot adds more fruity notes, structure, lots of colour, and with its nice acidity, will improve the long finish of this wine. 18 months in oak barrels combines the 4 varieties as one, but the fruit will predominate over the oak. It is a complex and elegant wine that expresses the best of each vintage.
