Viu Manent's single vineyard Malbec was Chosen as the Best Malbec in South America by an Argentinian publication in late 2003. Earlier that year this wine was crafted. Its 70-80 year old vines and fantastic growing conditions (phylloxera-free), plus the winemaking skills of Grant Phelps have resulted in this majestic Malbec - a truly super premium wine.
Tasting Notes
Dense dark ruby in colour with purple notes.
On the nose meaty black cherry fruit gives way to tobacco and plum with just a hint of sweet spice.
Initially rich and fruity in the mouth, this is followed by ample mocha, chocolate, blackcurrant and truffle. Voluptuous tannins combine effortlessly with a balanced acidity and abundant mineral notes leading to an elegant, layered finish.
