WINE DESCRIPTION
Mariflor Malbec is a captivating red wine that showcases the best of Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted with utmost care, this wine is produced in a renowned winery nestled in the heart of the Uco Valley. The vineyards, situated at high altitudes, benefit from the region's unique terroir, characterized by cool nights and warm days. This allows the Malbec grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a wine with intense flavors and vibrant acidity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The end result is a beautifully balanced wine with rich dark fruit flavors, velvety tannins, and a long, elegant finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mariflor
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
