Tikal 'Natural' is Here!

If you are looking for an affordable organic Malbec at a fantastic price, look no further.  One of Argentina's top-quality producers, Tikal wines reflect the spirit of Mendoza: the sense of pride, love, and celebration. Ernesto Catena spent his childhood in the vineyards of Mendoza among wine-growers and local pundits. A skilled horseman, software developer, and book editor, Ernesto pursues all that gives pleasure in life. This hedonism (in the best sense of the word) shows through in his wines. It is a style meant to provide enormous pleasure rather than provoke contemplation; an expression of emotion rather than intellect. He has named his wines with passion in mind: Patriota (Patriot), Amorio (Love Affair), Jubilo (Rejoice), and Locura (Madness).  'Natural' is his newest offering, made from 100% organically produced grapes grown in the Tikal vineyard in Vista Flores.
