Alpasión Grand Malbec

The Alpasión Grand Malbec red wine is the wine that everyone loves

The Alpasión Grand Malbec red wine is the wine that everyone loves, our flagship wine and about 80% of our production

A perfect example of a quintessential Malbec from the Mendoza region.

Opaque, inky purple in the glass with neon magenta at the rim. This full-bodied red bursts with macerated blue and black fruit. The 10 – 12 months of aging in French oak barrels adds subtle notes of toasted oak and cocoa powder.
