Winemaker Notes: Its purple, almost blue color, showcases blueberries and cassis notes accompanied by elegant violet and moka aromas. On the mouth it is intense and powerful, showing the gentle and sweet tannins, characteristic of the Malbec variety and Kaiken’s winemaking style. This wine has a unique balance between alcohol and acidity, achieved due the high thermal amplitude of the higher winemaking zones in Mendoza and Uco Valley (1,000 meters above sea level).

Organic status: not organic
