Brooding layers of blood plums, chalk, mineral and a hint of rhubarb. Palate is deliciously mid weight, with thick chewy tannins and bright, lively red fruit acidity. An all-round crowd pleaser and one nobody would be unhappy with on the table over a BBQ lunch.

A fresh malbec with black plum fruit, fresh mushrooms, violets and ink on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, balanced and juicy. Drink and enjoy. Vegan.
