With an attractive purplish red color, fresh aromas of strawberry and ripe plum accompany in perfect harmony the delicacy of violets and notes of oak aging.

Pioneer Malbec

This imposing Malbec has an excellent attack on the palate, with a distinguished fruit concentration and a pleasant sweet sensation. An elegant wine of great length and perfect balance.
