To have become the best-selling Argentinian Malbec in the USA, this must be a special wine despite its relatively low price. The Alamos Malbec is the star wine from the Alamos winery in Mendoza.

Vines growing at high altitudes in Mendoza create wines rich in aromas of plums and blackberries.

A wine which displays all the elegant aromas of violets, fragrant herbs and wild berries that only the best Malbec wines can express.
