Shy and complex on the nose, it showcases aromas of blue flowers accompanied by berries such as currants and blueberries, leading to gentle mineral and spicy hints of sweet almonds and fresh tarragon. On the palate, it reveals great personality, with medium concentration, vibrant freshness, and texture. Fruity and mineral flavors evoke the granite origins of its soils. The elegance of this Malbec Tributo, supported by soft tannins and a piercing acidity, suggests good ageing potential over time.16% fermented in old French oak barrels.
Ideal with a classic Brussels pâté, and warm toast.
