Doña Paula Single Vineyard Malbec DOC El Alto

Doña Paula’s Malbec DOC expresses the identity of Luján de Cuyo with notes of complexity and elegance highlighted by the age of the vineyards and meticulous winemaking. On the nose, the typical varietal fruit notes (plum, cherry, blackberry) are accompanied by subtle hints of rose, mint, and black pepper. On the palate, this Malbec elevates the combination of elegant, velvety tannins to a new dimension, with a subtle freshness resulting from a precise selection of the harvest time.
