Pablo y Walter Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, NV, 25cl Can

Grape: 100% Malbec, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

A really pure expression of Malbec, deep red almost purple in colour and wonderfully aromatic with lifted violet, red currant and cassis notes. Muy, muy fantasticó – richly bloody, vibrant, Latin and velveteen.

Winemaking: Produced from 25 year old vines in the Uco Valley, close to Walter’s bodega in the rain-shadow of the Cordon del Plata. The unwooded Malbec is vinified in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and brightness of the fruit. Walter bought three spanking new 25,000-litre steel tanks specifically for this project and subsequently somehow crow-barred them into his small family bodega.

Food Match: A juicy steak, churrasco de chorizo marinated with garlic, parsley and olive oil, grilled vegetables with chimichurri sauce. Remember to keep it chilled
