Tasting Note Kaiken Ultra Malbec
This Ultra Malbec from Kaiken is rich in aromas of ripe plums, blackcurrants and a hint of violets, combined with subtle notes of chocolate and coffee due to the oak aging. The taste is powerful and full-bodied, with a complex structure of ripe tannins that guarantee a smooth and long finish.
Wine & Food Pairing
Kaiken Ultra Malbec pairs excellently with grilled red meat, such as a juicy steak or lamb chops from the Big Green Egg, but also combines well with stews and rich cheeses.
Additional information
The symbol of Kaiken Wines is a goose species called: Cauquén (the gray-headed goose), which is common in Patagonia and regularly crosses between Argentina and Chile. Aurelio Montes often made the same flight and saw the geese flying back and forth. During one of these flights, the name of the winery was born. How fitting!
Kaiken Wines was founded in 2001 by Aurelio Montes Sr., one of Chile's most famous winemakers, as he was instrumental in the great development of Chilean viticulture. For example, he was one of the first – he himself convincingly claims to be the first – to give due attention to the terroir concept and to plant vineyards on steep slopes.
Malbec is undoubtedly the king of grapes in Argentina. The Kaiken Ultra Malbec comes from 3 different vineyards in the Uco Valley. All with diverse soil types and a characteristic top layer of rocky cobbles. The variation in sun, location and difference in soil type gives a distinctive character and a unique complex wine with a beautiful structure and a long finish.
This Ultra Malbec has been aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 1/3 new oak and 2/3 used oak. The wine has aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberries, spices and tobacco. The taste is full, dark and you taste concentrated ripe fruit with a velvety finish. What a lively wine and what power!
