Alma Negra Gran Alma 2018
Argentina, Argentina
Crafted in secrecy and born from Argentina’s signature red grapes, the Alma Negra Gran Alma 2018 is a wine that defies convention and delights the senses. True to its name — “Black Soul” — this enigmatic blend invites intrigue, delivering a multi-layered expression of depth, finesse, and Argentine character.
On the nose, it reveals a seductive bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, violets, and subtle cocoa, laced with earthy undertones and spice. The palate is where the mystery unfolds: rich layers of leather, exotic spices, blackberry compote, and candied fruits come alive in perfect harmony. Despite its generous alcohol level, the wine remains remarkably poised — showcasing exceptional balance, purity, and an elegant, long finish.
Full-bodied yet refined, Gran Alma 2018 is a wine of contrast and complexity — ideal for cellaring, but equally compelling now with a proper decant.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Alma Negra Gran Alma 2018 presents a deep, inky violet hue, hinting at its bold concentration. The nose is rich and expressive, offering layers of ripe blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry, interwoven with nuances of leather, baking spice, and a touch of wild herbs. Hints of cocoa and floral lift add elegance to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and plush, with a refined structure and velvety tannins. Flavours of blackberry and cassis dominate, complemented by notes of candied fruit, cracked pepper, and a subtle smokiness. The high alcohol is seamlessly integrated, lending warmth without overwhelming, and is balanced by fresh acidity and exceptional purity. The finish is long, smooth, and savory, leaving a lingering impression of spice and dark fruit.
