Private Reserve

2010 Arizona Malvasia Bianca

The Freitas Vineyard Private Reserve, a delightful Malvasia Bianca from Arizona's sun-kissed vineyards, presents a captivating array of flavors that delight the senses. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, supported by bright and refreshing acidity, which adds a lovely vibrancy to each sip. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of stone fruits, particularly apricot and peach, harmoniously balanced with floral hints and a subtle mineral undertone. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing the purity of the varietal to take center stage, and it offers a graceful finish that leaves a lasting impression. Ideal for warm evenings or as a complement to light fare, this Malvasia Bianca stands out as an exceptional expression of its Arizona terroir.

Region:


Arizona

Arizona is an emerging and diverse winegrowing region in the southwestern United States. Spanning high desert plateaus and rugged mountains, Arizona's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a wide array of terroir. The high elevation and arid climate play a major role in shaping Arizona's vineyards, with cool nights and warm days allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The diverse soils, ranging from volcanic to sandy loam, contribute to the unique character of Arizona's wines. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, while further down, richer, bolder wines are produced. Arizona's growing wine industry is gaining recognition for its distinctive and high-quality wines that reflect the unique environmental conditions of the region.
