Grape

Malbec

Origin
This fine Malbec comes from Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo region, and is the flagship wine in the Viñalba range. Created by Hervé Fabre, one of the first Bordeaux-schooled winemakers to come in to Argentina, and to recognise Malbec's potential in its high-altitude terroirs.
Taste
A generous nose of warm plum-pudding-like fruit, lifted by soft vanilla and flower petal notes. The tannins are muscular, yet smooth and voluptuous, providing a blockbusting mouthfeel and long finish.
Enjoy
Decant first for maximum effect. Enjoy with steak or venison.

    Excellent Wine

    This relatively young wine has a maturity beyond its years. It tastes like a 30 year old Pauillac from a good vintage. It's mellow in the mouth and rich in taste and smell. Without the intense blackcurrant of Cab Sauv, the Malbec is well balanced and full of flavour. It proves once again that Malbec has been the most under-rated of the Bordeaux Red mix and thankfully it is thriving in Argentina.

Staff Reviews

  • "This excellent Malbec exemplifies the high quality of Malbec Argentina can produce. Grapes from 60 year old vineyards are hand picked, and carefully fermented to show the terrior of the region and retain the grape's elegance. This wine has an enticing aroma of dark plums, ripe dark fruit, violet petals, hints of black pepper and spice, complimented by sweet vanilla. Elegantly balanced, the warm, rich, ripe and intense concentration of dark cherrys, plums, liquorice and sweet spices are tempered by ripe tannins. and soft oak fills the palate but never overwhelms. A fantastic match with Venison, game and of course steak."
