Maipe Malbec Rose
Casir dos Santos
Argentina - Mendoza    - Lujan de Cuyo   

Maipe means "Lord of the Wind" in Quechua. The Andean people still invoke his name to clear the skies after a heavy rain, or to temper the summer heat.

Lovely salmon color with a fresh, red fruit bouquet. Strawberry and cherry flavors, balanced acidity, and a dry, lingering finish.

2019 Maipe Rose Malbec Lujan de Cuyo - 89 PTS - IWR

i winereview logo"Light copper salmon. The Maipe Rosé is fruity but dry and easy drinking with lingering hints of mandarin, golden raspberry, and tart red plum. Overall, very pleasant with enough acidity to pair with barbecued shrimp but not to much that it can’t be sipped on its own. Low alcohol and great price, too! 100% handpicked Malbec, macerated 1 day with 30 days of battonage. - Don WINKLER"
