Notes: A deep ruby red colour with a hint of violet. The combination of individually selected blocks of intense Malbec fermented in subtly toasted new oak barrels gives full ripened fruit aromas with strong plum & cassis gently backed with floral & spiced nuances. This is a firm, well structured wine with hints of vanilla & chocolate, a soft & full mouth feel with a long lingering finish. An excellent Malbec (one of our favourites) which has more depth & complexity than many on the market & a wine well worth a try.
 
Producer Info: These lands are magical – they hide astonishing mysteries! When construction began to build the winery a dinosaur was unearthed & in tribute to this 75 million year giant, the name Saurus was given in tribute! Located at 39’ Latitude South in San Patricio del Chanar near Neuquen the Schroeder vineyards are planted on gravelly soils & combined with warm days & cool nights provide near perfect conditions for grape cultivation. This is a distinguished range of wines with intense aromas & elegant tannins, well structured & with the best characteristics of each vintage.
