Grape: Malbec
Tasting Notes: Dark Fruit, Licorice, Plum, Chocolate
The Roca family has been producing wine in Mendoza for 4 generations, and currently farms 280 acres in San Rafael, the southernmost province of Mendoza. At altitudes of 800 meters (2,600 feet!) above the sea level, Roca's vineyards produce distinctly cool-climate wines.
This 100% Malbec is a classic example of Argentinian Malbec at a superb price. And no skimping here -- hand harvested and 9 months oak aged.
