For him, a glass of wine goes beyond the sensory pleasure, and turns into a bridge of communication between the art of creating a mythical concoction and its final consumers.
Tasting Notes: The wine is well-rounded, yet with quite a powerful attack of blended red and black fruit medley dominated by black currants, blackberry sorbet and red fruit cobbler, along with warm, slightly phenolic notes of ripe cherries and sun-kissed plums.
The midpalate shows good balance. There are nicely ripe tannins coming through to the finish, which is a combination of cranberry and black currant juices, showing references of oak barrels, a touch of smoke and earth-driven minerality.
Food Pairing: This Malbec would pair well with dishes that contain beef, lamb or poultry.

Winemaking Process: The Gran Reserva wines of Santa Alicia are fermented in small batches, separated by grape variety and lot, picking date and pressing.
Each batch is individually selected and managed in order to avoid any risks during the process. One hundred percent of the wine is aged in French oak for 12 months before being aged in the bottle for a further 12 months.
Tasting Notes: Balance and complexity from selected grapes with extended barrel and bottle ageing. Deep cherry red in colour, a warm inviting nose of damson and cherry is followed by the gentlest texture imaginable. Aromas of prunes, chocolate, some notes of Menthol characteristic from the Valley and toasted oak are also obvious. The palate is well structured with firm tannins.
Food Pairing: This red wine pairs well with game, poultry, lamb and beef.
