WINE DESCRIPTION
The Seeker Malbec is a red wine from Argentina's Mendoza region. Made from Malbec grapes grown at elevation. The vineyards where the grapes are grown benefit from high altitude, where the higher volumes of UV light result in thicker skins and a deeper colored wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by temperature controlled fermentation and aging in mostly older oak barrels. The result is a rich and full-bodied wine with fruit-wrapped grainy tannins and a luscious dark fruit profile. The Seeker Malbec is a perfect choice for those seeking a bold and expressive wine that embodies the essence of Argentina's winemaking heritage.

ORIGINS
Winery: The Seeker
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
