Crios — meaning ‘offspring’ in Greek — is the second label of Susana Balbo, one of Argentina's most celebrated winemakers and the first woman to qualify as a winemaker in the country. Based in Mendoza, Susana has spent decades crafting wines of real finesse from Argentina’s iconic varieties, and the Crios Malbec is a shining example of why Argentine Malbec has taken the world by storm.
Deep violet with an intensely aromatic nose of ripe blackberry, plum, violets, and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate it is full-bodied with velvety tannins, generous fruit, and a long, smooth finish. A natural partner for grilled beef, empanadas, or any hearty meat dish. Accessible, honest, and great value from a world-class producer.

Susana Balbo
The most recognised and well-known female oenologist in Argentina, Susana Balbo has been instrumental in the transformation of quality table wines in Argentinean viticulture. She is best known for her innovation and progressive spirit in developing wines with unique character and quality, and she is the first Argentinean oenologist ever hired as a consultant by European wineries. At Susana Balbo Wines, her family's winery in the famed Mendoza wine region of Argentina, Susana crafts her own signature label wines. They embody the complexity of various grapes along with her creativity as an oenologist to produce fine wines that express prestige, power and finesse. For her Crios label, which means "offspring" (as in children), Susana selected a word to express the notion that these are wines given loving care and attention deserving of her children. The three hands on the label, inspired by a Mayan artefact, represent Susana and her two children. By definition, Crios is to be enjoyed while still young and vibrant.
