Gran Alacrán Malbec
A magnificent deep crimson with brilliant violet undertones. The nose offers an ethereal aromatic complexity, where intense floral notes of violets and ripe black fruits — such as black cherries and plums — intertwine seamlessly with a sophisticated toasted character. Nuances of cracked black pepper and dark chocolate add a spicy, opulent dimension. On the palate, it is exceptionally succulent and refined; its sweet entry leads to a seamless structure of velvety, precision-crafted tannins, culminating in an elegant and remarkably persistent finish of dark fruit.

Vineyard & winemaking
A masterpiece born in the heart of Vista Flores, Tunuyán, at an altitude of 1,100 meters. This icon wine represents the pinnacle of our vineyards, where the extreme conditions of the Uco Valley forge a character of unmatched depth. Aged meticulously for 12 months in a selection of French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels, it is a timeless creation that balances power, elegance, and the pure essence of the Andes.

Food pairing
This wine is the ultimate companion for structured and high-end gastronomy. It pairs exquisitely with dry-aged steaks, roasted wild boar, or lamb seasoned with mountain herbs. It also stands up perfectly to intense, aged cheeses and dark chocolate desserts. To fully unlock its multilayered complexity, we recommend decanting for 45 minutes.
