Varietal

Malbec

The purple Malbec variety grapes which now grow all over the Old and New Worlds had their origins in France, where they are one of the few grape varieties allowed to be used in the highly esteemed blended wines of Bordeaux. However, it is perhaps the New World Malbec wines which have attracted the most attention in recent years, as they thrive in hot southern climates in ways they cannot in their native country, where the damp conditions leave them highly vulnerable to rot. Malbec grapes are renowned for their high tannin content, resulting in full-bodied red wines packed with ripe, plummy flavors and held in their characteristically dark, garnet colored liquid. In many countries, Malbec is still used primarily as a varietal for blending, as it adds a great level of richness and density to other, lighter and thinner varietals. However, single variety Malbec wines have been greatly on the rise in recent years, with some fantastic results and big, juicy flavors marking them out as a great wine for matching with a wide range of foods.

Fresh plums, black berry fruit, dried herbs and chocolate orange on the nose. Fruity and creamy with a medium body and supple tannins. Very approachable. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The 2023 Malbec Terroir Organic hails from Luján de Cuyo. It opens with aromas of black and red fruit, a subtle trace of balsamic herbs and a hint of sun-kissed warmth. Succulent and plush with moderate freshness, the 2023 finishes with a faint leafy note and clingy texture, in line with the vintage.

Winery Notes
