100% Malbec, aged in new and 1 year old French oak Barrels for 18 months.
In the glass this wine is very dark purple, almost black. Not unlike most Malbec wines. Floral nose with hints of violets and white pepper. On the palate prominent vanilla oak, black cherry, liquorice, redcurrant and violet perfume. A powerful wine with remarkably good integration of judicious oak and dark cherry fruit. Very juicy and lifted by acidity, this shows a classic New World style.
It's seems you either are or are not a Malbec fan, either way you will remember this wine.
Chakana winery was founded by Juan Pelizzatti on May 2nd, 2002. Juan was driven to enter the wine industry first and foremost by his passion for wine, and also by the desire to invest his time and money on a product of agriculture. Although Juan did not know it at the time, the company was founded on the same day the Chakana was celebrated on the Andes highlands: on that same day, the Southern Cross (the Chakana for the Inca people) becomes vertical in the night Andean sky.
