High-altitude viticulture in Mendoza exposes vines to greater UV intensity and wider diurnal temperature swings, contributing to concentrated flavors and firm structure in the finished wine. The wine is made from 100% Malbec grapes and undergoes the Mevushal process — a flash-pasteurization step required for certain kosher wine uses — while carrying full Orthodox Union (OU) kosher certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with bright notes of honey-roasted pepper and ripe olives, moving into deeper layers of tomato-pepper jam and cola.
