From Bordeaux, the Malbec is, without a doubt, the representative
variety of Argentine. This wine displays intense, brilliant red tones,
with great body and persistent. Fine and elegant to the nose, it is a
perfect combination of red fruits and spices like vanilla and
caramel, provided -specially the caramel- by twelve months of
ageing in new French oak barrels. Perfect accompaniment to red
meat dishes, it is best served at a temperature of 16º - 18º C.
