Vinalba Reserve Malbec Patagonia, 750ml

Product Information

La Patagonia presenta condiciones ideales para una maduración lenta. El clima es más frío que en Mendoza, lo que resulta en vinos más frescos, con un estilo elegante, casi al estilo del viejo mundo. Este vino se elabora capturando la atractiva pureza de las uvas y obteniendo la mayor cantidad posible de ese sabor en botella. De color rojo oscuro, es un vino agradable en nariz, con ricos aromas a cerezas negras, menta y especias. En boca se presenta equilibrado y elegante, repleto de frutas negras, con taninos suaves y un final largo. Viñedos & Viticultura
