Malbicho Malbec 2021
UCO VALLEY, ARGENTINA | VEGAN, ORGANIC PRACTICES
Malbicho is produced by the experienced team at Grappe in Maipu, Mendoza, who specialises in partnering with well-known winemakers
to produce innovative wines offering something a little bit different. The grapes are picked from vineyards in the Uco Valley, the
highest and coolest region in Mendoza, where the cool nights counteract the warm days and lengthen the growing season, allowing
grapes to be picked when perfectly ripe.
This is classic and fun Uco Malbec with notes of raspberry, red cherry, dark berries and blackcurrant and notes of milk chocolate
and liquorice over hints of pepper and cedar. Proper iron fist in a velvet glove this, with a smooth and inviting palate, then
whammo with tannin grip, finishing with a slightly smoky, toasted flavour. Top stuff from the top of the world!
Vinyes Ocults Malbec 2021
MENDOZA, ARGENTINA | CARBONIC MACERATION, SINGLE VINEYARD, WILD YEAST, HAND PICKED, ORGANIC PRACTICES
While honing his craft at Bodegas Polo in Mendoza, Argentina – Winemaker Tomás Stahringer would become an overnight success. From
‘garagiste’ winemaker with only two barrels worth of Uco Valley juice, 500 bottles in his parent's garage to becoming a future
(oc)cult classic! These redolent wines are a hit among collectors selling out in just two months. Review after review, it was
clear this small-batch Malbec was the real deal; and so became the skull-laden label known as Vinyes Ocults, a homage to an
adopted philosophy and a juicy reminder of Tomás’ zest for life!
This is a fresh and fruit-driven style of Malbec, made by a process called carbonic maceration where each individual grape
ferments within itself, leading to bright, fruity flavours. This has gorgeous black cherry, raspberry and plum pudding aromas with
notes of spice, chocolate, coffee and leather. Super-juicy with acidity and balanced tannins, this is a different style to classic
Malbec and a most welcome variation!
MATIRENA OCASION MALBEC MENDOZA - ARGENTINA
Mairena 'Ocasión' Malbec 2021
MENDOZA, ARGENTINA | VEGAN, SINGLE VINEYARD, HAND PICKED, ORGANIC PRACTICES
Familia Blanco is the eponymous family-owned winery in Mendoza, in the sub-zone Luján de Cuyo. This region put new world Malbec on
the map and thus is home to some of the most famous Argentine winemakers. Their three vineyards are within 970-1030m above sea
level in the foothills of the snow-capped Andes. The vineyards experience extreme day and night temperature differences permitting
some of the slowest ripening seasons in the world.
Notably rich in colour, this classic Malbec opens with an opulent nose of sweet crushed blackberries and raspberries with
liquorice, spice and savoury sanguine notes. Plush and fruit-forward on the palate, it is wonderfully balanced with appealing
acidity and finishes with ripe and dusty tannins. It’s exactly what you want from Mendoza Malbec!
ZEPHYR VINOS DE CASTRO MOREIRA MALBEC
Vinos de Castro Moreira 'Zephyr' Malbec 2019
UCO VALLEY, ARGENTINA | ORGANIC, BIODYNAMIC, SUSTAINABLY MADE, VEGAN, UNFILTERED
The Uco Valley is one of Argentina’s best-kept secrets. The region's high altitude vineyards (planted at 1250 metres above sea
level!) and semi-desert conditions make it unlike anywhere else in the world. Wines made from such a unique terroir have a
distinct story to tell. A voice to be heard. And Vinos de Castro Moreira is telling it through their unique range of natural
wines.
This Malbec is the perfect combination of mysterious and unassuming, just like a secret garden in the mountains. The nose is
alluring with its deep and brooding fruit aromas, a hint of smoke, pepper, and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth
tannins and flavours of violet, mountain brush fruit, boysenberry, and chocolate. The finish is rustic, but in a charming, "I just
got back from foraging in the forest" kind of way. It's the epitome of fresh and delicious
Vinos de Castro Moreira 'Zeal' Rosé 2022
UCO VALLEY, ARGENTINA | SUSTAINABLY MADE, VEGAN, LOW PRESERVATIVE, WILD YEAST
And finally, pouring a stunning shade of flamingo pink, a Malbec rosé that holds nothing back! This is an exclusive first release
of Vinos de Castro Moreira Rosé - a very special opportunity to taste what Malbec is truly capable of in rosé form.
Strawberry nougat, raspberry and cherry blossom, this wine is full of flavour, fun, and packed to the brim with juiciness. Creamy
in texture, this medium-bodied wine glides too easily across the palate. It's dry, but plays a sweet and playful tune for the
tastebuds with its lingering flavours of fuzzy peaches on the finish.
THAT WAS JUST A FEW...
We've got so many more wines to explore! So come take a peek at our wines page to find your next perfect pairing!
Have a great week ahead :)
