Tasting Notes: This wine has a pungent nose of fresh plums, bramble and black pepper, and a succulently ripe palate.
This Malbec was created in the lofty heights of the Cafayate Valley in the remote Salta region of Argentina. It is the result of the work of two brothers (hermanos): Osvaldo working the family vineyards, and Rafael making the wines from the wonderfully concentrated grapes that this high altitude yields. The focus of this range is to express the terroir, focusing on the fruit and with no oak ageing.
