Enjoying this Trivento white Malbec and have noticed I tend to enjoy a clearer white wine. Does anyone know why a white wine might be clear?

Never heard of a white Malbec.
I think it comes down to grape variety and how they process the liquid but I don’t really know how they go it to be that clear because it’s genuinely the only wine I’ve ever seen that looks like that.
There are lots of different techniques to reduce color during production, this probably used active carbon to strip the color. Bentonite and KMBS will reduce color but not to this “white” wine level.
I know some producers that use active carbon to make a “white” wine from traditional red grapes.
I really enjoy vinho verde when I have the opportunity to drink some.
I tried this a couple of years ago out of interest.
Absolute shite.
No body. No phenolic ripeness at all. Barely any fruit.
Tasted like watered down Pinot Grigio.
Purely designed to cash in on Malbec’s reputation amongst supermarket drinkers.
We drain poured it. Waste of units.
Nb. I’ve had still white Pinot Noir and a couple of Blanc de Noirs from Greece and are not opposed to the idea.
I have two bottles of Argento Artesano Malbec White, I haven’t tried it yet tho but was intrigued when I seen it was a white Malbec.
White bordeaux can be quite clear! Much better than whatever this is
It’s called vodka lol
Tried this at the Taste of South America tasting in NYC last year. Personally, it was not my jam. It felt more like a novelty and a just because product.
They use charcoal filtration on this wine from what I have heard. Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t think that was a normal practice.
