In Luján de Cuyo, the land echoes with the legacy of generations of vintners. Beyond Shadows emerged as a heartfelt homage to this storied past, artfully merging time-honored traditions with a spirit of renewal to create an authentically expressive Malbec.
Tasting Note
Deep, youthful colour and lifted aromas of ripe blackberries, plum and a touch of violet. The palate is smooth and generous, with juicy dark fruit wrapped in supple tannins. Subtle French oak adds gentle spice and warmth without overshadowing the fruit. Fresh acidity keeps everything lively, leading to a rounded, satisfying finish that balances richness with drinkability.
