Tasting notes: The nose on this wine is like stepping out from Walter's old Mercedes into this high mountain vineyard - full of dusty mountain air purity and speaks volumes about Uco Valley. The leafy graphite nose follows through onto the palate with a firm, posh, proper, pencilly, fruit of cassis, crushed rocks and sour cherry. A stunning wine, intense, concentrated and fine with great varietal typicity.
Food match: Serve with a juicy steak and chips, or delicious with a mutton curry!
