Winemaker’s Notes:

100% Malbec grapes from the Lunlunta vineyards, 970 metres above sea-level. The wine was aged for 6 months in oak barrels prior to being bottle aged for another 6 months. A wonderfully clean and natural Malbec that is an excellent reflection of Maipu terroir.

Christian’s Notes:

This is an excellent example of a well-crafted Malbec. The vines are 80 years old, which puts them in their prime producing age. It shows. Sublime.

Ratings and Awards:

• Argentina Wine Awards 2010: Bronze Medal
