The grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring only the finest fruit makes it into the wine, and then carefully crafted to preserve their vibrant flavors and aromas.

This Malbec pours a deep, alluring ruby color. On the nose, it unfolds with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of violets, intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and chocolate from oak aging.

The dark fruit flavors are beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. The 'Mountain Character' truly shines through, offering a wine that is both powerful and elegant.
