Roka is Chacra's first foray into malbec, and it bears almost no resemblance to the variety's Mendoza idiom. Where most Argentine malbec leans dark, ripe and powerful, Roka is built on freshness and finesse, the same Patagonian signature that runs through the rest of the Chacra range. Violets and ripe plum lead, followed by black cherry, wild berry and a wet-earth minerality that hints at crushed stones and seashells. The tannins are fine and firm, the acidity vibrant, the body medium and beautifully measured. A long, pure finish carries floral and lightly jammy notes through to the close.
