A blend with nuances that change according to the vintage, but in which its velvety body persists, with fine, creamy tannins. As well as its intense color and aromas reminiscent of ripe black fruit, such as redcurrants and black cherries, and herbs and spices such as dried lavender and pepper.

The 2022 Blend La Consulta Select is 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec, 20% Syrah, 11% Tempranillo and 6% Petit Verdot from La Consulta in the Uco Valley and was aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Purple with a garnet sheen. The nose offers ripe dark fruit and a minty, balsamic aroma over a faint oak bed. Indulgent and juicy with a velvety palate, the measured acidity keeps up the energy levels. This is a long-lasting, intense La Consulta blend.

This is a co-fermentation of five varieties, including 33% cabernet sauvignon, 30% malbec, 20% syrah, 11% tempranillo, and the rest is petit verdot, aged for a year in barrels. The wine has a strong presence of the herbal notes of the cabernet sauvignon, whose early harvest may account for their freshness. The rest is ripe red fruit and spices and smooth yet robust tannins. One for lamb.
The heart of this blend is the result of a co-fermentation between Malbec, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon at its base,
where later, in a following stage, the rest of the selected varieties are
included in the blend.
Co-fermentation of the dierent grape varieties. The main varieties of the blend are harvested on the same day and fermented together in a concrete vessel. To achieve this, very strict vineyard management is required to ensure that all varieties have a similar and optimal level of ripeness
