"Brightly fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, floral, chocolate and spicy oak aromas, followed by a flavoursome palate displaying ripe fruit intensity backed by velvety texture and plush tannins, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2022
Bright intense red with purple hues. Blueberries, also classic Malbec mulberry, red cherries and notes of cedar; cocoa and wafts of violets. At first this Malbec is Intense, juicy and super youthful "grapeiness" again lots of blueberries. Almost overwhelming. The Middle Palate is generous and quite sensual it is structured despite the lashings of fresh fruit Really rich and lush. The after palate is flavoursome, rich sweet berry fruits and Damson plum is on top of rolling red fruits and Blueberry pie! The finish is lush and mouth filling with a glycerol sweetness balanced by gentle tannins and a soft fresh acidity.
Primary fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless-steel vats and 20 tonne open fermenters over a period of 7 to 10 days. Once dry on skins, the grapes are pressed to individual tanks and kept full until a natural malo-lactic fermentation is completed. The individual components are tasted, and a blend is determined. Once blended the wine will go into barrels for 8 months. The barrels used are all 2-year-old American Hogsheads. After 8 months the wine is cold stabilised and filtered ready for bottling. This results in a wine with purity of fruit that is unpretentious and eminently satisfying to allow for regular indulgence.
Food Pairing: Along with barbecues, Malbec's team a treat with bold summery dishes. As they're by no means shrinking violets in the flavour department, a chilled bottle will go beautifully with beef fajitas or big-flavoured salads.
