FA by Familia Arzuaga Malbec Intense Reserve

Elegant and balanced, this typical Malbec from the Uco Valley reflects the new tendency in winemaking to enhance the characteristics of the region where the grapes come from, allowing you to discover the taste of the fruit and varietal typicity.

This wine has a deep purple color with aromas of cherry, plum, and notes of black pepper. Its flavor is elegant on the palate with silky, sweet, and incense tannins. It also offers subtle notes of vanilla and chocolate, a product of its contact with oak.  This malbec pairs wonderfully with BBQ beef, and grilled seasoned vegetables, but it's also great for just sipping on its own.
