Originally reserved for the family’s private cellar, this exclusive high-end blend is the result of a request by the Swarovski family to create the best wine to enjoy among their friends. Its grapes come from the winery’s oldest vineyards, between 50 and 90 years old. A truly unique wine, it is a special selection of the best barrels of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which results in a harmonious, complex and elegant blend.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby-red color. Complex ripe fruits, spices and coffee aromas. Expressive on the palate, fruity with slight presence of woody notes. Great structure with a delicate presence of tannins.
