Bianchi San Raf Oas Sur Malbec 750ML

Details

In the foothills of the Andes Mountains, approximately 146 miles south of Mendoza City but still within Mendoza Province, lies the San Rafael wine region.The waters of the Diamente and Atuel Rivers provide fertile soil that is surrounded by a high-desert of varying heights (from approximately 2000 to 2600 feet). It is in this Oasis Sur (Southern Oasis in English) that Italian immigrant Valentin Bianchi, with his wife Elsa, followed in his familys farming footsteps by planting grapevines and opening a winery in 1928.

More than 92 years later, the third and fourth generations of the Bianchi family still make wine in this region. To both honor the land of their familys roots and bring greater trade and consumer awareness to it, Bodegas Bianchi has launched the Oasis Sur label.
