MAAL Wines is a modern Argentine winery known for its creative, unconventional approach to winemaking. It was founded in 2010 by Matías Fraga and Alfredo Merlo, who began by making small batches of wine from an abandoned vineyard in Mendoza. The project is built around a simple idea: to produce only Malbec wines with strong personality and authenticity. MAAL focuses on expressing the terroir of the Uco Valley and Las Compuertas while allowing the winemakers’ creativity to shine through. This “NN” Clarete Malbec is pale red in color and made by blending both red and rosé Malbec together, before aging in stainless steel tank, to create a fresh and chillable style. According to the winery, it is called “NN” because it is “neither one thing nor the other”.
