Winemaker's Notes:

 The Finca Bella Vista Malbec 2008 An alluring bouquet of incense, violets, black cherry and blackberry, this wine is voluptuous and lengthy. Finca Bella Vista's personality shines through the wine, vintage after vintage, with a recognizable and repeated signature.

All Achaval Ferrer wines are bottled without fining or filtering as they prefer not to stripe the wine of subtle flavors and aromas. The formation of deposits in the bottle will be noticeable after some cellaring time. This is no way affects quality. Achaval Ferrer strongly recommends decanting this wine at least an hour before drinking.

About Achával-Ferrer :

 Founded in 1998, Achaval-Ferrer is a team of friends who dream about great wines. Achaval-Ferrer is also a collection of old vineyards in beautiful places. They are committed to the production of wines that are expressive of their terroir. They are a small winery because this is the key to top quality. Low yields allow the vineyards to express their personality in the grapes. Low intervention winemaking allows the grapes to fully express their vineyard in the bottle. Each of their wines is a different expresson of Malbec: The Mendoza Malbec is about varietal tipicity. Their Quimera blend is about Malbec as the key to complexity and balance. And their Fincas (Single Vineyards) are about how Malbec expresses different soils and microclimates.
