Vintage 2005

The harvest was affected by a spring frost and was characterized by a small yield. The frost was not severe but intense enough to affect the fruit set. Summer was then cooler than usual, with moderate, pleasant temperatures that allowed us to wait until complete ripening was achieved. This made the harvest particularly good for Cabernet, resulting in good length, structure and acidity. The Malbec kept its fresh fruit character when ripe.

Beautiful, slightly purple colour. Intense on the nose with ripe red and black fruit, a touch of mint with tobacco and vanilla aromas, well-integrated oak. Rich, full-bodied, powerful, velvety with good aromatic complexity on the palate and good length.

A rich, complex and balanced wine with ripe, juicy tannins.
