Viñalba Malbec Gran Reservado

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 tasting fruit, and the flagship wine, Viñalba Malbec Gran Reservado is an outstanding example of this. Hervé J Fabre’s philosophy is to balance power and elegance. The palate is smooth and rich with soft black fruits and subtle oak flavours.
