Maal, Biutiful Malbec, 6 Bottle Case, 75cl

Up high along the eastern edge of the Andes Mountains is Vista Flores, a tiny appellation within the Uco Valley’s Mendoza region, where winemaker Alfredo Merlo and grower Matias Fraga make MAAL wines, which simply stands for “Malbec As Alfredo Likes”. It’s all about Malbec for these guys, produced in varying styles and grown 900-1,350m above sea level. The majority of their fruit comes from Vista Flores, but they also source small amounts from Luján de Cuyo, Paraje Altamira and elsewhere in Mendoza.
