We like to introduce our Grand Vin as the Argentinean cousin of Château Léoville-Poyferré, 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien, our family’s most renowned Estate in Bordeaux, France. Grand Vin is an exceptional Bordeaux-style blend, with an impressive tannic structure from our best Malbec, rounded, balanced and completed with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot. The Grand Vin is a barrel selection of the best of the varietals. It raises the level of quality with its already complex perfume, open-knit texture to its creamy-rich dark fruit and nutty oak flavors. This wine is noble and statuesque with aromas that allure of black cherry, foie gras, hints of wild flowers and smoke. Has just enough acidity to maintain its shape and balance. This very full wine finishes with serious tannins that reach the cheeks with great depth of flavor. Composition 70% Malbec, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 5% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Aged 100% in French oak barrels during 18 months. An intense and memorable wine experience. Perfect for dinner party or for special occasion. Alcohol 16% vol.
