Malbec (3)

Alamos Malbec 750mL Bottle, $22.90

The character of Mendoza wines is forged in high altitude desert vineyards irrigated by mineral-rich snowmelt from glaciers and snowfields. Altitudes range from 1,000 feet to around 5,000 feet, where the foothills rise steeply toward the Andes peaks. High altitude means cool temperatures and clear air, and clear air means more sunlight for building flavor in the grapes, helping to make Mendoza the source of Argentina's well-earned reputation for top quality, unique wines.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 13.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Argentina<br /><br />Region: Mendoza<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />
