August 2019Proud to receive a new recognition!
Our flagship Viu1 2014 was recognized as the Best Malbec of the Latin American Wine Guide made by the Master of Wine Alistair Cooper in conjunction with Catad´Or.
Tasting Notes
Powerful aromas of cherry cola, damp earth, tobacco and roasted meat. Saddle leather and spice with notes of vanilla and chocolate and violets. A rich and powerful wine which needs food to soften the dense tannins. Open and decant for an hour or two before serving.
