Brote Negro is a unique clone of Malbec discovered in our vineyards that are 150 years old. The wine is a saturated deep crimson with aromas of fresh black berries highlighted by notes of black liquorice, damson plum, violets, raspberries and touches of vanilla, raisins, and spices. A long elegant finish. Reviews Jay Miller Wine Advocate 94 Points
The 2007 Brote Negro is a unique strain of Malbec that was isolated and propagated by the Bodega. The wine spent 12 months in 50% new French oak. Medium purple in color, it proffers a bouquet of smoke, pencil lead, violets, exotic spices, and black cherry. On the palate it is elegant, relatively forward, and releases tons of flavor. This pleasure-bent effort is likely to develop for another 2-3 years but will be hard to resist now.

Bright ruby-red. An essence of malbec on the nose: blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, pepper, licorice, smoke and minerals. Then wonderfully silky and light on its feet, conveying an impression of perfectly integrated acidity. Really resounds on the palate and aftertaste without leaving any sensation of weight. Finishes with firm tannic spine and a lingering note of licorice pastille. |
