Pascual Toso Finca Pedregal is a special blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, the maximum expression of two unique vineyards that the Toso family planted in 1950.
Aged in oak barrels for 18 months (Cabernet Sauvignon in American oak and Malbec in French oak), it is an intense, elegant, smooth, refined wine with a pleasing palate due to its complexity and firm and sweet tannins.
