Naturally fermented without additions the fermented skins were basket pressed and matured in 50% new biodynamic oak for 7 months. The resulting blend is 93% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot.

The 2022 harvest resulted in perfumed aromatic wines of great character and this wine is no exception.

VINTAGE NOTES
2022 vintage grew wines of immense perfume and texture. The cooler season and low yields ensured that the health of the vines and hence the fruit quality. Exceptionally good for chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and of course Cabernet Sauvignon.
