Aj Wine

red / dry / 14.5% alc.

Grape variety
50% Malbec, 50% Merlot

Area of production
Calchaqui Valley

The area is characterised by deep, poor, rocky soils. Wide thermal amplitude with big differences (approximately 22° C between the lowest temperature during the cold mornings and nights, and the highest during sunny days). Dry climate, little rainfall, 120mm of rain a year, 15% humidity and 300 days of sunshine. Cold mornings and nights, and long hot days result in wines that are highly concentrated in colour, aromas and flavors with a unique fruity character.

The Malbec and Merlot grapes were vinified separately and aged for 15 months in both American and French oak barrels.

Tasting notes
Rich, silky and intense with ripe tannins and flavours of plum, chocolate and mocha. Notes of red pepper and black olives add a unique flavour profile at the end. Full body with tastes of black berries, currants and a touch of vanilla.
