Cristóbal Barrel Selection
Malbec
High-end wines, crafted with selected grapes from our finest high-altitude plots and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
An elegant Malbec, of outstanding red purple tones. Intense scents and blueberries and dry plums taste, combined with notable vanilla and tobacco notes. Excellent in mouth, reminds us to chocolate combined with a soft smoke that makes it irresistible. Sweet, complex, outstanding exponent of the great Argentinean Malbec.
Vinification
