Description
- American oak
- Blueberries
- Cocoa & violets
- Mouth filling
Bright intense red with purple hues. Blueberries, classic Malbec mulberry, red cherries and notes of cedar, cocoa and wafts of violets. At first this Malbec is intense, juicy and super youthful. The middle palate is generous, sensual and structured despite the lashings of fresh fruit. The after palate is flavoursome, with rich sweet berry fruits and Damson plum 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.
