Malbec
Malbec in Nemea? Exactly. Acra doesn’t play it safe. They took a grape famous for inky reds and turned it into something leaner, brighter, sharper; a rosé that refuses to hide in the shadow of Provence clichés.
Born from the same rocky soils that give Agiorgitiko its strength, this Malbec Rosé is juicy but disciplined, carrying both the sun’s generosity and the winemaker’s restraint. The color lures you in, but it’s the attitude that keeps you hooked: bold fruit, clean lines, and a pulse that feels anything but ordinary.
Acra’s Malbec Rosé isn’t here to decorate your table. It’s here to change the conversation.
