| MALBEC
 |
Our Mystic
Malbec, aged in French oak barrels for 12 months,
is artisanally made in the Argentinian Patagonia. A
wonderful combination of the strength of its violet
tints, the unmistakeable typicity of its aroma and a
great structure. Very nice Malbec, with ripe tannins
and excellent length.
