"The 2024 Malbec Kung Fu offers intense violet aromas, wild herbs and delicate red fruit, along with hints of black tea. On the palate, it is fine-boned and juicy, with a chalky texture and energetic flavor. A subtle herbal note and a touch of stable floor emerge on the finish. This is characterful and delicious."

"A deep and naked malbec without added sulphites. Stones, white pepper, stems and wild herbs to the dark cherry fruit on the nose. Full-bodied on the palate with dense, chalky tannins and a pristine, juicy finish. All about the fruit here. Drink now."

"From Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, the 2023 2023 Malbec Kung Fu was fermented with native yeast before bottling with no added sulfites. A rich purple hue. The nose delivers pure, recently squeezed aromas featuring violets, plums and mountain herbs. The palate is dry and lean. The flow is juicy before the crystal-clear, lingering finish. This taut but relaxed high-altitude wine is a true delight."
