Felipe Staiti Honor Blend, 2019

Smoky, rich, voluptuous and Balanced Blend of Malbec and Cab Franc

"The top-of-the-range red, the heady and creamy 2019 Honor is a co-fermentation of 65% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon with 15.2% alcohol and generous oaking—18 months in barrel, 40% of them new. It's smoky, rich, voluptuous, heady and hedonistic, full-bodied and full-throttle with everything, but in balance. It also needs time."

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Felipe Staiti is a guitarist for the Argentinian rock band ‘‘Enanitos Verdes’’. These wines are made by one of the top Argentinian winemakers, Marcelo Pelleriti at Bodega Monteviejo. One of the 7 wineries constituting ‘‘Clos de los 7’’, a wine project setted up by 7 French families including the Rothschilds. One of the neighbouring estates of Monteviejo is Cuvelier Los Andes which we also stock. Michelle Rolland mentored the winemakers for each of the estates. So there is a Pommerol touch to these wines.
