Ultra Malbec 2018 - Viña Kaiken

The Ultra Malbec from Kaiken is a wonderful red wine from the Argentinean wine-growing region Mendoza, pure grape variety.

In the glass this wine shines in a deep ruby red with purple highlights. A wonderful complexity characterizes the Bouquet, which reminds of intensive violet blossoms, spicy forest fruit, mocha, chocolate and coffee aromas. The typical dark berry aromas of the variety are complemented by juicy blackberries and ripe blueberries. The elegant structure with the gently ripened tannin convinces the palate right from the start. This Argentinean red wine is pleasantly accessible, fine-fruity and very clear. This red wine closes with a long finish with nuances of dried flowers and spices.
