Penedo Borges - Finca Don Otaviano

A velvety and comforting red wine made of Malbec and Merlot grapes that were harvested by hand in April 2006. With its bright and lively dark ruby color, this wine presents sensual fruity aromas of red fruits from the forest, as well as of dry figs and spices perceived over a base of fine oak.

The mouthfeel is full, velvety and elegant with an intense and long structure.
This wine enhances meals of red meat, pasta with tomato, meat, or mushroom sauces and mild cheeses.

A red wine for any occasion.
