VIEW: In color deep ruby red with brilliant violet reflections, reflecting youth and freshness. Medium-high intensity, with good density in the glass.
NOSEAromas intense and expressive, marked by notes of Red and black fruits like ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries. Delicate floral notes appear, especially of violets, which add elegance. The brief time in oak barrels adds complexity with subtle notes of vanilla, black pepper and a very faint smoky background.
MouthOn the palate, it's a Malbec juicy, fresh, and balanced. Pleasant entrance, with a vibrant acidity that brings tension and liveliness. The tannins are smooth, round, and well-integrated, providing a silky texture without losing structure. The fruity profile dominates, with a medium-long persistence and a clean finish that invites you to keep drinking.
Beef tataki Perfect for highlighting the spicy and fruity notes of the wine, without overpowering the delicacy of the meat.
Flank steak brioche: The Malbec fruit balances the richness of the flank steak and the sweetness of the brioche.
Sweetbreads Freshness and acidity that cleanse the palate and contrast with the texture and fat of the gizzards.
Cod Ravioli An interesting pairing by contrast. The wine provides fruit and body that complement the salty and mild character of the cod.
Oxtail Although it's a more robust dish, the wine's acidity helps lift the whole thing and cleanse the palate.
Provoleta The contrast between melted cheese and the fruity acidity of wine is a classic.
Cheese platter with black pudding, chorizo, and ham: The wine pairs well with chorizo, black pudding, or cured ham, thanks to its freshness and mild spiciness.
