wish listAdd to Wishlist

Quimera is Achaval Ferrer's annual search for perfection. Inspired by Greek mythology, this powerful blend reflects the beast that is a product of different animals. A chimera is also a search for the unattainable; each vintage the winemaki ng team strives to find the very best parcels of fruit from across their estate to combine into this perfect blend.

Tasting notes

A little oak on the nose complementing the raspberry and black cherry notes. Warming and upfront on the palate, with full fine tannins and beautiful acidity.

90 Points / Drinking 2025 - 2033

The 2021 Quimera is a blend of 50% Malbec, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged 50% in used oak barrels, it presents a ripe profile with notes of chutney, plum marmalade, subtle oak spice and a hi nt of camphor. It seems slightly muted overall, but it's nicely textured and developed.
