WINE DESCRIPTION
Passionate Eterno Retorno Petit Malbec is a bold and expressive red wine, showcasing the depth and character of the Malbec grape. Originating from regions known for producing excellent Malbec, this wine is likely to reflect the varietal's typical profile of rich fruit flavors and robust structure. The term "Petit" in the name may suggest a more approachable, perhaps younger, style of Malbec, while "Eterno Retorno" implies a focus on timelessness and quality. This wine is a celebration of the Malbec grape, offering a taste experience that is both deep and accessible.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Petit Malbec usually presents a deep purple color.The nose is likely to be rich with aromas of blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, complemented by notes of vanilla and spice, indicative of oak aging. On the palate, expect a full body with a concentration of dark fruit flavors, balanced by smooth tannins and a moderate acidity. The finish might be long and satisfying, with lingering notes of fruit and a hint of earthiness. This wine is ideal for pairing with grilled meats and hearty dishes, embodying the bold and flavorful character of Malbec.

ORIGINS
Winery: Passionate
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
