2021 Malbec
Micro Lot Series
Another exciting release of our micro lot Malbec! You may recall we’ve worked towards growing our plantings of this varietal and Malbec requires our very best real-estate, which we’ve properly assigned. To achieve its zenith, Malbec needs long evening sun and length of season. Only then, can we convert these big, juicy beautiful clusters into this aromatically intense, lively wine. In 2018 we planted an additional small acre of this grape vine, and in 2021, it yielded its first modest crop load. This adds great complexity to the wine as young vines can often be prized for a more fruit forward profile, while our original Malbec planting (planted in 2007), is starting to show more complex flavours. The magic is when both are blended to create the ‘yum’ impact.
Cellar 2-8 years. Enjoy this with lighter proteins or over a charcuterie board or with some sharp cheese.
