Alta Vista Malbec Classic 2017

This  wine has an intense nose, with aromas of red fruit, particularly plums, with vanilla notes and subtle coffee touches resulting from its storage in oak. On the palate one finds a freshness and soft, rounded tannins, recalling those fruity sensations in the nose.

The combination of smoke with blackberry and lemon notes, fullish body, moderate tannins and fresh acidity makes this a prototypical modern Mendoza malbec.

Alta Vista’s Classic Malbec exhibits the true character of its grape variety. Fresh and intense, this wine’s aromas and flavors provide an excellent introduction to the fresh, fruit forward characteristics and overall quality of wines from Argentina. Part of the wine is aged in American oak for 6 months, prior to an additional 3 months in bottle.
