About this wine
Claroscuro's top Malbec, drawn from the same Vista Flores single vineyard at 1,054 metres. The grapes are picked in three separate passes across distinct parcels, and the resulting lots are fermented separately in wooden barrels and egg-shaped concrete — with a touch of Petit Verdot co-fermented in some cuves. After maceration and fermentation the final blend is assembled, then aged sixteen months in French oak followed by twelve months resting in bottle. The label carries an original Argentine artwork, in keeping with the winery's belief that wine and art share the same creative spirit.
Tasting notes
Deep, intense colour still showing youthful purple highlights despite the ageing. Floral and fruity notes lead, woven with more complex tones drawn from the long oak maturation — toasted wood, dark chocolate, cocoa and fine spice. Structured, layered, and built for the table.
Food pairings
Grilled ribeye, Slow-braised short rib, Aged hard cheeses, Dark chocolate desserts
