Deep blackberry, cassis, prune, vanilla and graphite aromas open this powerfully built Malbec that’s fully saturated and fully oaked. Toasty blackberry flavors are distinctly chocolaty on the back side. The wine tastes of black licorice, café mocha and black pepper on the finish.
Producer Information
Antigal is one of the oldest wineries in Argentina. Founded in 1897, in the first wine-growing area of Mendoza at the foothill of Cordillera de Los Andes, the main vineyards are located in Uco Valley in a high-altitude area with elevations up to 3900 feet. With a marked thermal range and sun exposure, the temperature variation between day and night drives balanced flavor development and leads to livelier, more intense wines. The desert climate and poor soils found in our mountains make grape vines work harder and produce more complex flavors that enhance the best expression of the fruit. The pursuit of excellence is the engine that drives our winery’s success. At all tiers, Antigal Winery creates well-balanced, quality wines that express the essence of the Mendoza terroir. Antigal has earned a reputation worldwide for the quality of its wines and their characteristic packaging that includes a distinctive silk-screened bottle with the number One.
