For Wine Wednesday The Vines of Mendoza would like to introduce you to some magical Argentine wines!
Walter Bressia is a magician with Argentine varietals, blending them to find the essence of each in a masterpiece of a wine! The Conjuro is his best example, which means conjured. This wine is unforgettable and a true favorite of many Vines staffers. This is one wine not to miss for that special occasion, or perfect for your father on Father’s day!
Bodega del Genio, means “winery of genius”. This wine is vibrant and ebulient, an complex expression of the Malbec varietal.
And finally Sin Fin, means endless, reflecting the fruit in this Malbec showstopper!
Have a magical day and check out these unique Argentine wines!
