Tasting notes
Lush bodied red wine with a broad character. Deep dak cherry colour with fat tears. Expressive aromas of floral, fruity and mineral accents. Very elegant taste with freshness and character in the expressive, yet refined texture. Very interesting wine with great finesse and a delightful rich mineral aftertaste. Lovely on its own or as a companion with fine red meat, extra-long ripened ham or stuffed red peppers. Till 5 years, decant in advance. Serving temperature: 16°C.
Wine Story
I met Frank Matthys at Vinexpo in 1993. In that year Frank was starting his business focusing on "New World" wines. Belgium was a market focused on French wines and in that context, his approach was clearly innovative.
The first wine he bought was a Torrontés, looking for something that would express Argentina's identity.
27 years later, we are still working together and that makes me very happy. Our children have grown up and integrated to the companies, in my case they are taking the responsibility of the company and Sebastian markets his personal project "Cara Sur" through Matthys.
We were very different companies from what each one is now, however, the passion for quality and innovation has been maintained on both sides over time and has been taken over by the new generation.
