MAI

Character and elegance in every bottle

In the language of the Pehuenche, one of the native peoples of Mendoza, mai means "first". It's the name we chose for our first icon wine, which the result of a constant search for excellence. We use the word in honour of the Pehuenche.

Mai is of our Vistalba terroir's perfect expression of Malbec, for which we've selected grapes from our 125 year old vineyeard to make a unique and elegant wine, with great character. After ageing for 18 months in new French oak barrels and 12 months in bottle, the wine is silky and sensual, with nose with lifted spice and ripe fruit.

WINE ATTRIBUTES

Attractive, ruby-red colour, with an extraordinary concentration of fruit, the wine possesses aromas of redcurrant, black cherry, and a hint of tobacco. A wine with big body, it's rounded and velvety on the palate, with smooth tannins. A hint of vanilla and toast is followed by a long, smooth finish. A very elegant wine.
