Malbec

The most successful malbecs this year showed restraint. Rather than relying on sheer power, oak, or alcohol, they brought dark fruit, savoury notes, and tannins that gave shape without getting heavy. We were very happy with the quality across this category, but a few really stood out. They delivered everything wine lovers look for in malbec – a fine texture, bold flavours, and a memorable finish.
