Mendoza, in the foothills of the Andes, is one of the finest wine-producing areas in the world. The mountains help provide perfect growing conditions, reflected in wines famed for their purity and freshness of fruit.

The Mendoza Heights Premium range of wines are made by one of Argentina's finest wine producers.

Smart packaging, good quality and very reasonable prices make these wines difficult to refuse.

Grapes: 100% Malbec

Soil: Deep and stony with very low level of organic matter

Viticulture: Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, Mendoza

Winemaking: The grapes are hand harvested, then they are destemmed and crushed.  The addition of selected yeasts led to a controlled alcoholic fermentation.  After pneumatic pressing and racking, a controlled natural malolactic fermentation was allowed.  The wine was bottles after stabilizing and filtration.

Taste: A well-balanced wine with inviting aromas of plum jam, through to a fresh juicy palate and a rich smoky finish.

Serve: This is a rich and full-bodied wine with intense fruit flavour that is at its best when paired with very good red meat dishes. All Argentine beef dishes should be eaten with a glass of Argentine malbec!
