Kaiken Estate Malbec 2020 14% Vol. 0,75l

Description

Kaiken was named after a wild goose from Patagonia called “Caiquén” that makes its way across the Andes between Argentina and Chile.
Like the wild geese, the founder, Aurelio Montes, had made several trips across the Andes until he realized in 2001 that Mendoza was the perfect place to make Kaikén wines.
Kaiken stands for freedom and boundlessness.

Kaiken’s Malbec Estate is a true example of the varietal’s expression on the Mendoza terroir. It is an elegant, sensual wine with abundant fruit, a wide range of flavors and just the right amount of influence from six months of aging in French oak.
