14.5% Vol
Finca Remota is created with grapes from a small parcel in the Altamira. This is a very particular microclimate, located at more than 1,100 meters of altitude. As the relatively temperate days and very cool nights create a very long ripening period, the Malbec grown there is harvested nearly 25 days later than in other areas.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose
The nose is highly complex and intense. Notes of exotic spices, violets and lavender, fresh and ripe fruits – such as black cherries, plums and blueberries.
Palate
After the fruits appear, spices and notes from the oak such as vanilla, chocolate & blonde tobacco are present, denoting the ageing in new French oak for 20 months. This is a wine of great body, structure and harmony in the mouth. The mouth entry is very fulfilling and has some sweetness from its ripe velvety tannins. It’s very fleshy and meaty, with fine and present tannins and very well integrated acidity that adds freshness to the wine.

FAQs
Dark chocolate pairs best with wines that have the structural intensity to match its bitter cocoa and tannin character without being overwhelmed. Fortified wines are the strongest match: aged Tawny Port with its dried fig, rancio, and roasted nut character is the classic pairing. Banyuls from the Roussillon, a naturally sweet Grenache based wine, is the benchmark French equivalent. A full bodied, fruit forward red such as Zinfandel or Amarone can also work, where the ripe dark fruit and spice complement the chocolate.
Many wines use animal derived fining agents during production to clarify and stabilise the liquid before bottling. Common fining agents include isinglass (derived from fish swim bladders), gelatine (bovine or porcine), casein (milk protein), and egg whites (albumin). These are added to bind suspended particles and removed before bottling, but trace quantities may remain. Vegan wines use alternatives including bentonite clay, activated carbon, or pea protein. Checking the Barnivore database or looking for a vegan certification on the label is the most reliable approach.
