Details and technical informations about Winery Messenger's Malbec.
Discover the grape variety: Bouillet
Simple, supple and fruity reds with a clear ruby colour, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage varieties being studied. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Auckland
Wine region of northern New Zealand's North Island, warm maritime climate. Waiheke Island is the jewel (18 km by ferry): signature Bordeaux-style blends Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot with dense, ripe reds (blackcurrant, blackberry, herbs, cedar, tobacco, firm tannins) — among New Zealand's finest. Peppery and perfumed Syrah (violet, white pepper, blackberry), precise and structured Chardonnay (peach, citrus, hazelnut butter). Warm, full style, opposite of vibrant Marlborough.
The wine region of North Island
New Zealand's North Island, warmer and more varied than the South Island. Bordeaux varieties and Pinot Noir as signatures. Merlot in Hawke's Bay as a supple red with notes of plum, ripe cherry, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, round tannins — blended with Cabernet and peppery Syrah. Fine Pinot Noir in Wairarapa/Martinborough (cherry, undergrowth).
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
