Two Malbecs

Cahors in France is the home of Malbec and where the grape is originally from. The Argentinians have been making it their own since the early eighties and this twin set celebrates the varietal from both parts of the world. It makes a great gift for Malbec fans to try the two different styles from different corners of the world. Here are two wonderful examples of great Malbec wines, really well made.

Fincas Trapiche Malbec
Mendoza, Argentina
1 x 75cl Bottles
Intense black purple color. Aromas of plum, spices and red pepper, with delicate notes of mint. On the palate, round tannins and a long, balanced finish. 94 Points James Suckling. A fresh and leaner style with black currants and blueberries. Full-bodied, minerally and crisp. A blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot

George Vigouroux Vassal de Mercues Malbec
Cahors, France
1 x 75cl Bottles
Located on the ancient quaternary terraces of the Lot River Valley or on southwest slopes of the kimmeridgian Plateau of Quercy, the Malbec has found in its birthplace complex soils of clay and limestone that afford to give rich grapes with fine tannins. Vassal de Mercuès is the second label of Château de Mercuès, one of the leading producers of fine AOC Cahors wine in Lot, south-west France. A brightly coloured wine with an aromatic nose oozing red fruits, it is full bodied in the mouth, with elegant tannins and a good length with peppery and spicy notes.
