Susana Balbo ‘Crios’ Rosé of Malbec
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Crios Rosé was created as a new way to enjoy Argentina’s beloved varietal, made in a lighter, more delicate style.
- This Rosé originates from the renowned Valle de Uco region, in Mendoza.
- The vines thrive at an average elevation of 1,050 m/3,445 ft above sea level, which contributes to the wine’s exceptional quality.
Varietal: 100% Malbec
Elaboration: Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts, with temperatures maintained between 12-14°C (54-57°F).
Tasting Notes: A fresh, dry and delicate rosé with aromas and flavors of strawberries and gooseberries that lead to a balanced palate and a crisp finish.
