Product Notes

Kaiken Ultra Mendoza Malbec is a premier Argentinian wine that exudes elegance and character. This full-bodied wine features an alluring melange of flavours comprised of ripe plums, dark cherries, and a whisper of spice. Hints of violet, vanilla, and mocha further enrich the profile, giving a nod to the 12-month French oak barrel ageing. The wine sports an inky purple hue, synonymous with the Malbec, while the palate leaves a lingering finish of fine-grained tannins. Best savoured with robust meat dishes or hard cheeses, this balanced, fresh Mendoza Malbec promises a memorable wine-drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

Intense and bright ruby in colour, with violet reflections, this wine has a fragrant nose of captivating spice and floral notes, mingled with fresh blueberry and blackberry aromas. The palate is well structured, with smooth tannins, a great length and freshness, and a complex finish.
