Las Olas Malbec (2008)

Wine Making

The Famatina Valley is located in Chilecito, province of La Rioja - Argentina. Itīs an 80km long desert valley with mountain ranges on each side: the Velasco and the Famatina. A pristine and sparsely populated environment. A unique micro-climate. Great exposure to sunshine. A dry environment, with warm days and very cool nights. Abundance of water deep below the surface ensures that water is available when needed. Ideally suited to producing both earlier ripening vibrant white varieties as well as intensely flavoured reds, notably Bonarda. Produces wines with great depth of flavor, with wonderful elegance and vibrant character.

Tasting Note

An Intense dark red. with Hints of mint and pepper with a touch of ripened plums. Blackberries accompanying smooth and sweet tannins.
