The colour is intense red with violet glints. The nose has aromas of ripe black fruit such as blueberry and blackberry, together with spicy aromas typical of high-altitude Malbec. On the palate the wine has all of the silkiness of the variety, the structure and freshness of Petit Verdot, and the fruit notes of Bonarda.
Kaiken’s Terroir Series represents the best of each variety from a particular area of Mendoza. Kaiken also embraces blending to make wines that represent the nuances of their site, the Malbec/Bonarda/Petit Verdot being a case in point. The Malbec and Petit Verdot grapes are sourced from the estate vineyard in Vistaflores in the Uco Valley, and the Bonarda from their estate in Agrelo
Kaikenes are wild geese, native to Patagonia, that fly across the Andes between Chile and Argentina. In the same way, legendary Chilean winemaker Aurelio Montes crossed the Andes to make wines in Mendoza. Aurelio saw the enormous potential of the region for premium viticulture and, after several exploratory trips, founded the Kaiken winery in 2002. His aim was simple: to make great wines in Mendoza and, in doing so, to show the best of both sides of the Andes.
