Description:
Malbec is one of the five grapes used in red Bordeaux wines. Its role in the blend is to add bright fruit flavor and deep magenta color to the blends. In Argentina, this varietal, imported to the country in the 1800’s has achieved its own distinct character and become the best known wine from the Mendoza area of Argentina.
Our own version is rich and voluptuous with wonderful fruit character and depth. We carefully ferment and then age this wine in small oak barrels. This Malbed is robust and full of bright flavors, yet soft and complex. Enjoy it with red meats and aged cheeses.

Varietal Definition
Malbec:
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" for red wine grapes. Malbec is typically a medium to full-bodied red wine. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine. Malbec goes well with roast meats such as chicken or turkey. It should be served at 58F and can be aged for up to 5 years typically.
