Tasting notes
The 2018 Malbec Serie A was produced in a transparent way, trying to express the varietal character of the grapes from the Valle de Uco. It has an herbal twist with a wild and spicy side, full of character and with very good freshness. 2018 was a return to a classically dry year with homogeneous ripeness. This is a wine with energy, brightness and freshness, with only 20% of the wine matured in used barriques—for logistical reasons more than trying to mark the wine with oak. So, it's fruit driven and pure, supple, medium-bodied with less volume than your average Malbec. 600,000 bottles produced.

This is very fresh and bright with dark berries and spice and hints of rose stems. Medium body, easy tannins and a juicy and rich finish. Lovely concentration here. Drink now.
