Purple in color, Kaiken Ultra Malbec combines notes of figs and wild flowers finely blended with the elegance of the French oak. On the mouth, it is intense and powerful showing the gentle and sweet tannins, characteristic of the Malbec variety and Kaiken’s wine-making style. Its aftertaste showcases violet hints provided by the fruit of the Agrelo vineyard.This wine has a unique balance between alcohol and acidity, achieved due the high thermal amplitude of the higher wine-making zones in Mendoza and Uco Valley (1,000 meters above sea level).
