Details
There is so much to love about this natural Malbec. It's just full of personality, with unpush character, honest tannins and beautiful texture. Classic notes of dark fruit interlace with cassis and a whiff of leathery, earthy aroma. Taut and bright, a superb wine!

Pairing guide
The winemakers at Krontiras have done a splendid job with their expressive Malbec vines, bringing out impressive depth and character that comes across in every satisfying sip. When it comes to food pairing, you’ll get great results matching this bottle with barbecued or chargrilled red meats - especially game meats including venison and boar. Rabbit casserole, sirloin steak with chimichurri or salsa verde, rich bean stews and braises and Mexican and Tex-Mex classics like chilli con carne (or veggie alternatives) will also work brilliantly. Don’t be shy with the paprika and grated mature cheddar, and you’re onto a winner.
