Viñalba Diane

The Wine

Mendoza has become one of the most dynamic wine producing regions in the world with an enviable array of grape varieties, many of which are planted at high altitudes. The long summers mean the wines have wonderfully pure  lasting fruit, and the Iconic cuvée ‘Diane’ embodies the best of Viñalba. This wine is a great ambassador for complexity and elegance. Delicate on the nose with fresh aromas of red dark cherries, liquorice with a touch of mint. The French oak adds delicious vanilla aromas. On the palate, it is round and rich with silky tannins and has a very long and elegant finish.
