Originally reserved for the family’s private cellar, this exclusive high-end blend is the result of a request by the Swarovski family to create the best wine to enjoy among their friends. Its grapes come from the winery´s oldest vineyards, between 50 and 90 years old. A truly unique wine, it is a special selection of the best barrels of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which results in a harmonious, complex and elegant blend.

2019 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2019 harvest produced balanced and concentrated wines as a result of a dry summer, cold winter and a cool spring. Harvest happened earlier than usual, producing small berries and slightly lower yields. Warm April weather allowed the grapes to ripen in great conditions, creating great color and high acidity.
Tasting Note
Complex ripe fruits, spices and coffee aromas. Expressive on the palate, fruity with slight presence of woody notes. Great structure with a delicate presence of tannins.
Food Pairing
Pair with rich flavors like braised meats, osso bucco, mushroom sauces, and sharp, nutty cheeses
