WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted in the renowned appellation of Mendoza, Argentina, this wine is sourced from carefully selected vineyards that boast exceptional features. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in French oak barrels for 12 months (60% of the wine), which imparts a rich and complex character. The result is a wine that exudes elegance and finesse, with a deep and intense color. Its style is characterized by bold flavors of ripe black fruits, accompanied by hints of spices and a velvety texture.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spices from the oak aging process.On the palate, the wine displays a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The rich flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and a touch of smokiness. The wine's excellent balance and structure contribute to a long and satisfying finish.
It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve over time.
