Malbec

Mendoza's long, warm days and cool nights bring out the best in these grapes, which thrive in the mountains. Delightful expression of huge brambly Malbec. The nose offers an appealing, mixed spice, bramble fruit bomb followed by dark, damson and savoury overtones on the palate. The finish is smooth, rounded and nicely balanced.

No myth or legend here. Instead, a real big beast of a wine from the Mendoza Valley, Argentina. Deep, brooding and dark. Big fruit, big spice, big flavours.

Everything you could ever want from an entry-level Malbec, and more!

Wonderful purity of fruit here. Luscious and soft, dark plummy fruit with layers of damson. Unoaked with a simple appealing freshness.

Inviting smoke and spice on the nose is complemented by redcurrants and ripe, lush cherries. Everything you could want in a malbec; plum jam, tobacco, dark chocolate and vanilla come together in this medium to full bodied wine with a long lasting finish.

A joyful expression of Malbec from higher altitude vineyards.

Spicy with tertiary aromas of venison, mocha, and leather. Voluptuous with good tannic structure, round and fruity, supple and light with a touch of originality

Deep, rich purple in the glass, almost opaque at the core. On the nose: ripe dark fruits such as black cherry and plum with smoky oak, leather, a touch of earthy undergrowth and some sweet spices like liquorice. On the palate it's full bodied, robust and quite structured, there’s generous dark fruit, balanced by savoury, mineral tones and firm tannins. The oak adds nuance but not sweetness, giving hints of vanilla and toast. Finish is long and slightly dry with lingering black fruit, spice and a subtle leathery note. A powerful wine that drinks well now (with decanting) and should develop further complexity with a few more years of bottle age.

The original Malbec! The popularity of Argentinian Malbec owes much to its French relatives!
