Description

In 1995, the grapes harvested in this vineyard were of such excellent quality that they inspired Luis von Dellemann, who was the company's oenologist, to vinify them in purity. That was how MCM was born. And since it would go on sale when the new millennium arrived, the winery decided to write the year in Roman numerals (MCM) on its very personalised label. Since then, that historic abbreviation has become the distinctive element of this wine.
