Dominio Del Plata Malbec Mendoza Crios de Susana Balbo(2005)

Crios means offspring (as in children). Susana selected a word to express the notion that these are wines that haven quite grown up to the same level of quality and maturity as her more expensive Susana Balbo signature label wines, but they receive the same loving care and attention throughout the winemaking process. The label features a series of three connected and overlapping hands, an image inspired by a Mayan artifact. The three hands represent Susana and her two children.

By definition, Crios wines are meant to be consumed while still young and vibrant and have great fruit expression.
