Kaiken Malbec Classico
Intense, fruity
£13.95
Intense and fruity aromas such as ripe plums, black cherries and blackberries. Spicy notes of black pepper and clove. In the mouth, this wine is juicy and balanced with soft round tannins. Long finish enhanced by subtle toffee and vanilla hints from its short oak ageing.
Ideal with for red meats and roasted vegetables, as well as pasta au gratin prepared in a wood-fired oven. It pairs superbly well with grilled provolone cheese and coal roasted eggplant.
40% of the wine was aged for six months in French oak barrels, with the rest remaining in barrels without wood contact to enhance the fruit flavours and aromas and to maintain its soft and silky tannins.
