Malbec
Deep, velvety reds with an intense purple colour, showing aromas of blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa and gentle spice. Round tannins, fleshy palate, peppery length. Star of Cahors AOC (Côt, Auxerrois) in France and the absolute signature of Mendoza, Argentina (Uco Valley, Luján de Cuyo). A French South-West variety that became the Argentine emblem after its post-phylloxera decline.
