Deep ruby in colour, bursting with aromas of intense black berries, baked plum and violets. A full bodied, well-structured palate with concentrated, juicy black fruit, liquorice notes and ripe, round tannins. All combining to give a rich, long and smooth finish.
"Pioneering winery Ruca Malen delivers an intense and luscious wine, one of the very few examples of 100% Petit Verdot in Argentina."

“There aren't many 100% Petit Verdot wines to be found in Argentina, but this example from Ruca Malen suggests that there should be more. Attractive juicy black fruit aromas are edged with chocolate and herbs, followed by an intense but elegant palate, with well integrated tannins. Deep black fruit with liquorice spice is wrapped in sweet cedary oak that lingers on the rich and persistent finish, alongside a savoury note.”
