Abbotts & Delaunay ‘Les Fleurs Sauvages’ Malbec 2020/21, Languedoc

Description

French Malbec is scarce outside of the South West and the Loire. But Languedoc experts Abbotts & Delaunay uncovered 30-year-old vines amongst their plots in the warm Hérault department. Older vines produce fewer grapes, but they have much greater concentration and complexity. To balance the ripe flavour of these sun-soaked vines, grapes from the cooler Aude department are added to the blend. The result is a bold, fruity red marked by freshness and elegance. Rich. Powerful. Spicy. Discover intense notes of red and black fruits with a hint of liquorice. Just like your favourite bottle of Mendoza, this is excellent with a chargrilled steak.
