2019 Kaiken Malbec ‘Aventura’ Chacayes Norte Mendoza Argentina

JS93 Deep and dark wine that draws you in with the black fruit, wet earth and black truffle on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with very fine, polished tannins and just the right amount of smoky oak to provide texture and complexity to the aftertaste. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The Caiquén is a wild goose from Patagonia that flies across The Andes between Argentina and Chile. By embarking on this cross-border flight the Caiquén takes up a major challenge. Just like the Caiquén, Aurelio Montes, founder of the Chilean winery Bodega Montes, made several trips across the Andes until, in 2000 he rediscovered Mendoza as a generous land filled with superb vines and hardworking people. In 2001 he realized Mendoza was the perfect place to make Kaikén Wines, wines that embody everything a great wine ought to be.
