"A Malbec Clásico in its most modern Argentine style: fresh, bold, 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, 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 vintage. Its nose, equally herbaceous but more intense and marked by aromas of black fruit, hints at a denser and more powerful palate. It concludes with a rich and lively finish, featuring greater length and a mineral note. 2024–2030
