This is a natural rarity detected in a very old Malbec vineyard. It is believed to be a mutation of the variety as it was found within “Viña Alicia” Vineyard.

The most remarkable characteristic at first glance, are the very dark shoots, almost black, that remain so for a long period, from budburst till nearly maturity. The shoots grow upright and the fruit bunches are black, smaller and looser than the Malbec as we know it. The wine has a deep purple colour and aromas of fresh fruits as well as hints of vanilla from the oak ageing, raisins and spices.
