Showdown “The Bird” Malbec, 2019

SKU: UPB953 | Category: Red

California, a wildcard for Malbec? Not when the game is played in the sun-kissed vineyards of the Central Valley - the perfect growing environment.

How it's made

Food Match​

Grapes are sourced from the northern end of California's long central valley. Malbec here benefits from the cooling influence of San Francisco Bay so grapes retain freshness. After fermentation 70% of the Malbec is aged on oak for four months giving good integration and subtle oak characteristics.

Great with rich and hearty food such as a casserole or veggie chili con carne.

Tasting Notes​

Juicy and full bodied, with plenty of blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, velvety tannins and great freshness.
