Red WineAchaval Ferrer 'Quimera' 2021
Named after the chimera of Greek myth, the wine embodies the beast’s two famous qualities. First, it is a combination of distinct elements – in this case Malbec, Merlot, both Cabernets and Petit Verdot. But more importantly, it symbolises an unending pursuit: the winemakers’ search for perfection, year after year.
Quimera is made with methodical precision in three stages: first the selection of the ideal vineyards and plots, then the fermentation of each individual variety and parcel selection, and finally ageing in barrels made of French oak from the forests of Allier, Tronçais and Vosges.
The breakdown is 48% Malbec, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, giving an Argentinian touch to a Bordeaux blend.
