VistaFlor Sangiovese Malbec - The Argentinians have a great way with Italian grape varieties. This delightful, vibrant blend of the Italian Sangiovese and Argentina's most exciting grape, the Malbec, really is very soft and approachable. Brilliant ruby red in colour, it has spice and cherry fruit flavours from the Sangiovese and weight and texture from the blackberryish Malbec.
In 1875, Edmund Norton first planted vines in Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo district high in the Andean foothills. At 900-1100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature, causing an extended ripening season, and also exposes the vines to more ultraviolet light, which encourages colour and tannin development. The results are obvious for all to see, vibrant wines packed with flavour, good acidity, well-structured and amazingly food friendly.
