A 100% Malbec from La Agricola's Ballena Del Sur range, sourced from high-altitude Argentine vineyards with a focus on freshness and purity over extraction — deep violet in colour, with dark berry, violet, and cocoa on the nose and smooth tannins on a long, polished finish.
Tasting Notes
Deep violet with a bright, youthful rim. Dried blackberry, plum, and blueberry on the nose, interwoven with soft notes of violet, cocoa, and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied with round tannins and a vibrant core of dark fruit. Subtle chocolate, black pepper, and mineral freshness lead into a long, polished finish. Malbec at its most precise rather than its most powerful.
