Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Intensely red with violet tones, fruity aromas, and remarkable black fruits. Elegant and smooth with a touch of vanilla from the oak. It is well-structured but rides the palate with soft, sweet tannins. This isn’t a summer sipper for by the pool—grab a real cloth napkin, a knife and fork, and put on some music so you can complete the mood for a great eating/drinking experience.

About the Name/Label
Añoro (pronounced ‘ahn-your-o’) is a unique word with no direct translation into English. In Spanish it often refers to the act of reminiscing or dreaming of a special time in one’s past. For us, it means “a dream” in the sense that we aspire to create something special in the future. El Regalo means “the gift” and refers to the amazing bounty that Mendoza’s old-vine Malbec vineyards bestow on us each harvest.
