Tasting Notes
The nose is deep and layered, opening with blackberry, ripe plum and black cherry, followed by vanilla, toasted oak and clove spice. Subtle notes of cocoa, sweet tobacco and a hint of smoke add complexity.
On the palate, the wine is rounded yet structured, with concentrated dark fruit at the core. The mid-palate shows a richer profile where oak integration adds notes of vanilla and spice, while soft tannins support the fruit, creating a smooth yet fuller texture compared to unoaked styles.
The finish is long and warming, marked by lingering plum, cocoa and toasted oak, with a touch of spice that adds depth and persistence.
Food Pairing
This Malbec pairs exceptionally well with nyama choma, grilled steak, lamb and rich meat dishes, where its structure and oak influence complement bold flavours. It also works beautifully with barbecue and aged cheeses, enhancing depth and intensity.
It is a great choice for dinner parties, weekend gatherings and celebratory meals, offering a wine with more presence and richness.
