SINGLE VINEYARD
MALBEC AGRELO 2016
FINCA LA ZULEMA • BODEGA PULENTA ESTATE
"The purest and most exclusive expression of a legendary terroir: a collector's Malbec that defies the passage of time."
The Soul of a Selected Parcel
The Pulenta Single Vineyard Malbec 2016 is a bottled work of art.

With an extended aging of 18 months in new French oak barrels, this wine achieves a dimension of elegance, structure, and depth that places it among the world's great red wines.
