Don Guerino ‘Vintage’ Malbec 2021

£15.99

An understated but beautifully balanced Malbec, with good ageing potential, this is our most popular red wine. Stylish retro label also much admired..

Medium-bodied and with moderate alcohol, it shows lively blackcurrant and plum fruit, complemented by traces of violets, licorice, tobacco and spice.

Vegetarian and vegan friendly.

 

 

Description

ABV: 13.5%

APPEARANCE:  Bright, with a deep purple core

AROMAS: Fresh, vibrant and youthful varietal notes of violets and mulberry, perhaps whiff of tobacco leaf too

TASTE:  Restrained overall but has a rich blackcurrant, plummy palate, very well integrated oak and touch of sweetish caramel from French oak barrels. Rounded tannins, decent acidity, medium bodied – not overheavy or spoilt by high alcohol..

FOOD PAIRING: Many possibilities but perhaps best enjoyed with roast chicken, grilled/BBQ red meats, casseroles, mushroom risotto, pasta or mature cheeses

OVERALL: Our bestselling red every year since 2018, this is a very approachable and versatile wine!

If you like this, try: Malbec Rosé Fizz or Sinais Rosé – a pink bubbly and still rosé wine respectively, both also made from Malbec grapes
