A consistently outstanding red blend featuring malbec, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. The cocoa powder and spice notes from the oak are adequate and certainly just supplementary to the healthy core of fresh, peppery blackberries and dark cherries with a touch of graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, dusty tannins, showing fresh, intense black and blue fruit with violets and dark chocolate lingering in a lengthy finish. A great value. Vegan. Drink or hold.

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.

40% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot
Aged 16 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% Second use) and 6 months in bottle.
The 2021 harvest produced quality grapes. This harvest was filled with cold weather and lot of rain. These conditions allowed for low pH, with good maturity.
Complex ripe fruits, like blueberry and currant, with subtle savory undertones of cured meats, mint, and tellicherry peppercorns. Great structure with a delicate presence of tannins.
Pair with rich flavors like braised meats, osso bucco, mushroom sauces, and sharp, nutty cheeses.
