WINE DESCRIPTION
Abacela Malbec hails from the Umpqua Valley appellation of Oregon. The winery is known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices and its use of estate-grown grapes. The Malbec grapes are crushed before they undergo fermentation in inert vessels with a focus on producing a rich and gently extracted style. They are matured in a combination of new and used French oak barrels to produce a subtly oaked, blueberry-scented wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Abacela Malbec is a deep magenta color with bright aromas of ripe blackberry and blueberry, with subtle hints of violet, clove and licorice.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, with gently grippy tannins and flavors of black plum, blackberry, and a hint of star anise. The finish is relatively persistent with a ripe character and delightful floral hints.

ORIGINS
Winery: Abacela
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
