"A Malbec Clásico in its most modern Argentine style: fresh, powerful, and herbaceous!"

“Its nose, equally herbaceous but more intense and marked by aromas of black fruit, hints at a denser, more powerful palate. It concludes with a rich and lively finish, offering greater length and a mineral note. 2024–2030” (Robert Parker 2025)

About the wine:

The Organic Malbec Clásico Organic offers significantly greater depth and body than the standard Clásico. Its nose—just as herbaceous but more intense, with notes of black fruit—heralds a denser, more powerful palate. It concludes with a rich, lively finish, featuring greater length and a mineral note. 2024–2030
