2018 Aluvión Malbec Rosé – Single Vineyard

A dry, single-vineyard Rosé bled off our Malbec grapes in the Uco Valley: our second Rosé, made in very small quantities. Grown on our family's 10-acre single vineyard in the Valle de Uco, the high-altitude heart of Mendoza at the foot of the Andes, and imported to Australia by the family themselves.

The Vintage

The 2017–2018 season was an extraordinary year in terms of quality, plant vigour and yields. The growing conditions were nearly ideal, characterised by dry weather, and without any significant early frost or Zonda winds. The season also brought very high thermal amplitudes (temperature ranges between day and night), which delivered wonderful intensity to the Malbec grapes.

Tasting Notes

This Malbec Rosé presents with a light, bright pink colour and aromas of strawberry, fresh-cut watermelon, and rose petal. Fresh and crisp on the palate, it's perfect to enjoy on warm days.

Food Pairing

This is a relatively high-alcohol, dry Rosé wine. We recommend serving it very cold on a warm day, together with a red pasta sauce, pizza, or a strong cheese. It also suits an Australian summer table: grilled prawns, charcuterie, salads and a long lunch outdoors.

Serving & Cellaring

Serve well chilled.
