Atamisque Malbec comes from an 87-year-old vineyard located in the La Consulta area, one of the best Malbec-growing regions in the world. The vineyard stands at 3,600 feet high, enjoying a privileged sun exposure and cool temperatures that allow the grapes to have a perfect ripening. The grapes are hand picked and selected in a sorting table. Aromas of violets, mature blackberries, figs and dried black fruits, with a subtle hint of coffee and tobacco. Intense and full- bodied, with lush blackberries, plum flavors and dark minerals. Great fruit acidity, gripping tannic structure and superb balance.
