Single Vineyard – Malbec – San Carlos

These grapes come from the best sections of blocks 5 and 6 on our Fundo San Carlos estate, near the town of Cunaco, in the heart of the Colchagua Valley. The vineyard was planted more than 100 years ago.
Tasting Notes
With a deep-red color, the wine’s nose shows great complexity, highlighting aromas of small black fruits, accompanied by floral and citrus notes such as ripe orange peel. The palate shows a wine with refined silky tannins with great texture that support a finish that is fresh, broad, and persistent.
Food pairing
An excellent companion for game like wild boar tenderloin or venison. Intense dishes like fabada or cocido madrileno with sausages. Service temperature of 16–18ºC, ideally decanted prior to serving. Aging potential of 8–9 years.
