Alfredo Roca Parcelas Originales Malbec 2017
The Roca family has been producing wine in Mendoza for 4 generations, and currently farms nearly 260 acres in San Rafael, the southernmost province of Mendoza. At altitudes of 2,300 to 2,600 feet above sea level, Roca’s vineyards produce distinct, cool-climate wines of singular quality.
Tasting Notes: A vibrant red Malbec with blackish hues, this wine is full of intense aromas and hints of black fruit, violets, plums with a long finish. Refined and fresh on the palate, it has round and elegant tannins, with refreshing acidity.
Serve With: Excellent with both light and dark meats, it has the intensity and body to stand up to bold flavors and rich sauces.
