Its recommended storage time is 10 years. It is also recommended that if it is served on the table, it should be decanted 30 minutes before tasting and accompanied with a selection of mature cheeses, fine cuts of meat and richly spiced dishes.
G&G Gran Reserva Malbec
The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles is an international competition held annually in four venues, one for each category: White and Red Wines, Sparkling Wines, Rosé Wines and Sweet and Fortified Wines.
Thanks to the experience of its more than 300 evaluators, this competition has positioned itself as one of the decisive elements for identifying the creative quality of a red wine. An example of this is the latest edition in which Vinos El Cielo was awarded a Gold Medal for G&G Gran Reserva Malbec .
Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, this wine presents fruity notes on the nose such as cherries and currants along with more unique aromas of tobacco, chocolate and pepper that extend into the tasting process, offering the diner the experience of balanced acidity.
To accompany the bright cherry red appearance of the G&G Gran Reserva Malbec wine , we recommend that you pair it with fine cuts of meat cooked over a wood fire. Remember that to notice all its qualities, it is important to uncork it exactly one hour beforehand.
