Pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye steaks, must we say more?
El Trator celebrates the old fashioned winefarming methods that date back over a century in Argentina. Our El Tractor Malbec epitomizes the tradition founded by French ex-pats after the plight of Phyloxera devestated Europe's vineyards in the late 19th century and brought the Malbec grape to new heights in Argentina.
