WINE DESCRIPTION
Malma - NQN Cholila Ranch Malbec is a fruity red wine produced by Bodega Malma in the Patagonia region of Argentina. The grapes are sourced from the Cholila Ranch vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level and benefits from a cool climate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French and American oak barrels for 2 months. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of black fruits, spices, and vanilla. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a long, smooth finish. This Malbec is a great example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Patagonia region.
