VINEYARD

AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 56 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 3280 FEET

VINIFICATION

The Malbec grapes are from the Vista Flores vineyard (Tunuyan) and the Bonarda comes from Rivadavia. They’re hand-harvested and aged 12 months in 70% French & 30% American oak (30% new, 70% 2nd & 3rd use). All Tikal wines are certified sustainable through Bodegas de Argentina

TASTING NOTES

Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Big body yet very balanced with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors. Just a hint of baking spice at the end brings it all together

FOOD PAIRING

A great companion to grilled or smoked meats. Pairs well with beef and pork, and even pizza with meat toppings.
