The Seeker Malbec is a red wine from Argentina's Mendoza region. Made from Malbec grapes grown at elevation. The vineyards where the grapes are grown benefit from high altitude, where the higher volumes of UV light result in thicker skins and a deeper colored wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by temperature controlled fermentation and aging in mostly older oak barrels. The result is a rich and full-bodied wine with fruit-wrapped grainy tannins and a luscious dark fruit profile. The Seeker Malbec is a perfect choice for those seeking a bold and expressive wine that embodies the essence of Argentina's winemaking heritage.
