2021 Quimera Tinto, Achaval-Ferrer, Mendoza
Tasting note
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.
Our thoughts
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 winemaking team strives to find the very best parcels of fruit from across their estate to combine into this perfect blend.

Vinous
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 hint of camphor. It seems slightly muted overall, but it's nicely textured and developed.
