Pequena Malbec 75cl
★★★★ 4.0 (1 review)Pour this and you get a glass of pure, ripe cherry and a little crackle of black pepper. It's soft, fruity and friendly, the kind of red that doesn't ask you to think too hard. This is your Tuesday-night bottle and your nyama-choma sidekick rolled into one. Good Argentine Malbec without the show-off price tag, and it's at your door fast.
Stick your nose in and it's all bright red fruit. Cherries, ripe strawberries, a lift of wild flowers and a twist of black pepper behind it. The sip follows through: juicy red berries, smooth and rounded, with tannins (the grippy bit that dries your gums) kept soft and easy. It's medium-bodied and dry, fruit-forward all the way, finishing clean instead of heavy. Nothing stuffy, nothing to overthink.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
It comes from Mendoza, the high-altitude heartland of Argentine Malbec, made by Bodega La Rural, a Maipú winery that's been at it since 1885. The name means "little vessel," a nod to the old way of making wine in small jars. The grapes ripen under big mountain sun and cool nights, which is exactly what gives Malbec that deep colour and ripe, juicy fruit.
