Tasting Note
Made entirely from organic grapes harvested in the “Los Amantes”, Jardín de Hormigas vineyard. This is a Malbec that transcends the grape variety to become a faithful expression of this exceptional plot. It has a translucent purplish red colour with bright ruby hues. On the nose, it opens up gradually, showing a great aromatic complexity with several layers. It offers notes of gunpowder, graphite, underbrush, fresh cherries, menthol, blackcurrant, truffle, pine sap, jarilla, white pepper, lemon balm, all accompanied by a balsamic note and an overall earthy, chalky sensation on the nose. The palate unfolds like a fan, with a fine, vertical entry that widens as it moves across the mouth. It is an ethereal wine that advances in crescendo, ample, crisp, juicy, and with great grip. The overall mouthfeel is marked by minerality, as well as a balanced, backbone acidity and fine-grained tannins. It has a fruity, balsamic, and persistent finish that reveals the purity of its place of origin.
