Gold Medal, NZ International Wine Show 2007
“Vivid purple in colour and dense in appearance. Rich, jammy, concen-trated and powerful with big gobs of sweet juicy purple fruit, liquorice, chocolate, anise-like spices and an earthy, savoury, sweet leather element. Amazing intensity and flavour with deliciously supple tannins.”
NZIWS Judges Panel
"A fun package with its bright jazzy label, this inky wine is crammed with juicy fruit that reeks of the purple violet character of malbec with solid tannins, a touch of tar and an earthy, savoury finish."
Sue Courtney, Food Service Magazine
Tasting Notes
So intense in colour it is almost opaque this wine exhibits a rich nose of blackcurrant, chocolate and black cherry. In the mouth mocha, leather and liquorice flavours dominate supported by a backbone of robust yet supple tannins leading to a long, lingering finish.
Vineyard: A blend between our San Carlos Estate, located near the town of Cunaco and El Olivar Estate, located near the town of Peralillo; both in the Colchagua Valley, sourced from Malbec blocks with an average age of 50 years in San Carlos Estate and 7 years en El Olivar Estate.
Oak: In total 70% of the blend was aged for 7 months in new wood (50% French/20% American barrels) with the remainder being matured in stainless steel.
