WINE DESCRIPTION

Ruca Malen Kinién Malbec is a premium wine produced by Ruca Malen, a renowned winery located in the Luján de Cuyo appellation of Mendoza, Argentina. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Kinién vineyard, which is situated at an altitude of 3,600 feet above sea level and benefits from the ideal combination of warm days and cool nights. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels for 12 months. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with aromas of black fruit, spices, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. This wine is a perfect representation of the classic Malbec style that has made Argentina famous.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ruca Malen

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.
