Kaiken Ultra Malbec 2021 14,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Kaiken winery was founded in 2002 as the sister winery of Montes on the other side of the Andes and has since developed its own identity and earned an excellent international reputation. Under the dynamic and sustainable leadership of Aurelio Montes Junior, who brings a great deal of energy and experimentation, Kaiken stands for excellent vinification in the high altitudes of the Andes. The name "Kaiken" comes from the Mapuche Indians and refers to the Patagonian wild goose that regularly crosses the Andes mountains between Chile and Argentina. Inspired by this journey, Montes founded the Kaiken winery in Argentina to produce exceptional wines.

Kaiken Ultra Malbec is an outstanding single-varietal red wine from Argentina. The best grapes are carefully harvested by hand, rigorously sorted and gently fermented on the skins. After fermentation, the wine matures for twelve months in French oak barrels, followed by a further six months of bottle ageing before it is finally released onto the market. The Kaiken Ultra Malbec has an impressive ageing potential of up to 14 years and is sealed with a natural cork.
