Deep red color with violet tones, this blend is highly concentrated with substantial body and structure. The nose displays aromas of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate, and spice. Sweet and soft tannins linger on a long finish.
The 2018 vintage was characterized by excellent climactic conditions throughout the growing season. Temperatures within the historical averages, minimal rainfall, and a larger thermal amplitude compared to previous years resulted in a characteristic growing season for Mendoza. The excellent health conditions of the vineyard allowed for a harvest of high-quality fruit with good color and concentration.
