WINE OVERVIEW
A certified organic vineyard in Gualtallary, Uco's most famous appellation. This Malbec/Cabernet blend is well structured with minerality, refined fruit and a nice concentration that can last for decades.
Tasting Notes
This is the asado (BBQ for us Americans) wine you have been searching for! Deep blackcurrant and oak aromas with opaque red/purple color. Flavors of black cherry liqueur, red currants, and a touch of black tea. Lush without seeming heavy, the wine seems to unfold in layers, keeping the palate excited well past the lengthy finish. Plenty of tannin for aging without any harsh astringency.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with most fine food presentations like duck in a fruit sauce, leg of lamb persillade, osso buco, and even a simple filet mignon.
Tech Details
The Vineyards are located in Vista Flores (Tunuyan). The grapes are hand-harvested and aged 16 months in 70% French & 30% American oak barrels. All Tikal wines are certified sustainable through Bodegas de Argentina.
