O. Fournier Alfa Crux Malbec

Argentina - Mendoza - Uco Valley - La Consulta - El Cepillo

José Mario's comment

"Intense woodland floor aromas lifted by delicate perfumed fruit. The wine is rich and intense with brooding fruit, vanilla spice and a hint of dark chocolate. A powerful, concentrated and complex wine with fabulous oak integration and layers of flavour"

The names of the "Alfa Crux" and "Beta Crux" wines are based on the names of two stars of the Southern Cross.

This constellation is only visible in the Austral (southern)Hemisphere.

The ostrich on the label symbolises the joining of the earth and the sky. The Argentinean Mocovi Indians captured this through paintings in the caves they inhabited and through different legends that were passed from generation to generation.
