Cruz Alta Malbec Rose

Sweetness:Dry

Grapes: Malbec

Grape info: Introduced from France in the nineteenth century, Malbec spread to become the most widely planted red varietal in Argentina. Deeply coloured and capable of producing intensely flavoured wines that tend toward black fruits with savoury notes and medium tannins, it also produces successful rosés with notes of red fruit and cream.

About: In 1925, Rutini became the first winery to plant vines in the Uco Valley, which today is world-renowned as one of the top wine-producing regions in Mendoza and all of Argentina.Rutini has 400 hectares of vineyards at altitudes ranging between 1,050 and 1,200 meters above sea level. The Cruz Alta range honours the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes in the winery and among the vines. Their names may not be on the bottles, but without these people Cruz Alta would not be possible.

Tasting note: A perfumed nose of rose petals, cherry and strawberry. Floral and fresh on the palate with notes of raspberry, strawberry and cream.
