Great Grapes: Malbec Red Wine Duo Gift Box

An ideal duo to give to those whose centre-of-universe can so readily be a succulent, grilled sirloin or roast leg of lamb. Where the silky opulence of an artisanal Argentine red cannot be bettered - when malbec of Mendoza is at its most magnificent.

The Wines:
2023 Malbec, Uvas del Sol, Classic Selection Mendoza
Everything we look for in an 'everyday' Malbec here - lots of plum and blackberry fruit, luscious texture, with a touch of mocha and spice.

2021 Cepas Single Vineyard Malbec, Penedo Borges, Mendoza
A sumptuous, highly drinkable malbec - resplendent in its smart new livery - now called 'Cepas' this is a definite cut above most malbecs around, and hails from a specific 48-hectare vineyard terroir - 'Alto Agrelo'. Malbec is Argentina's signature grape, and very much one of the world's favourite reds. Penedo Borges's Cepas is a great illustration of why - with its freshness, vibrant fruit and luscious texture.
