WINE DESCRIPTION
Established in 1954 in Pirque at the foot of the majestic Andes Mountains in Chile's Maipo Valley, Santa Alicia winery produces this Malbec Reserva. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Andean foothills, where the cool climate and well-draining soils provide ideal growing conditions for Malbec, the wine is aged in oak barrels for several months. This results in a complex and bold flavor profile with notes of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla, complementing its full-bodied, smooth, and velvety texture.
