Description
Luca Old Vine Malbec
This Luca Old Vine Malbec has made it to Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list, not once, but twice for a reason – it is quintessentially expressive of Mendoza. It has spice and black cherry aromas with notes of cocoa. The berry flavours pop on the palate with lively acidity, finishing with hints of espresso.
100% Malbec from vines of 50 years old. It was aged 12 months in 30% French oak and 70% second use French oak barrels.
