WINE OVERVIEW
From 70+ year-old vineyards at the ‘Faraway Ranch’ in Altamira (Uco Valley), this dense Malbec is full-bodied with thick tannins.
Tasting Notes
Dark as night, a basket of enticing floral aromas (especially violets), Malbec’s intense red and black fruit flavors underlined with superbly integrated French oak notes giving way to a long, spicy finish.
Food Pairing
Firm but supple tannins make this wine worthy of rich foods like steak with a port reduction, duck with an intense cherry sauce, or a slowly-braised veal shank.
Tech Details
The grapes come from the Paraje Altamira vineyard in Uco Valley, Mendoza. The wine is aged 12 months in 100% oak barrels.
