Wine Flavor Profile
Alambrado Malbec Blanco is a crisp white wine with delicate floral aromas. On the palate, it offers fresh and delicate red fruit flavors with plenty of acidity throughout a long finish.
Argentine Malbec has taken the wine world by storm and few do it better than the Zuccardi family of winemakers, who’ve been producing some seriously high quality bottles since the 1960s. Their Alambrado Malbec is a consistent top seller, so we are thrilled to introduce you to their latest creation: Alambrado Malbec Blanco, a crisp and clean WHITE Malbec.
Third-generation Sebastián Zuccardi, aka Decanter’s #1 South American winemaker in 2019, was the family innovator to pioneer the concept. To make the wine, he uses the same pristine grapes taht go into the family’s iconic bottling, but simply doesn’t let the juice linger with the grape’s red skins, which are what give wine its color and tannins.
