Nuna is a very appealing, well-judged Agrelo Malbec from Leonardo Devia and Gabriel Bloise that illustrates the changes that have happened at Chakana in the last few years. Floral, elegant and alluring, it has an appealing combination of detail, texture and freshness built around an unwooded core of raspberry and bramble fruit sweetness. Drink date: 2023 2027.
