Domaine Bousquet Malbec(Organic) | 2020/21 | 14% |75cl

Selected organic grapes are sourced mainly from vineyards in Tupungato at an altitude of 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level, one of the highest points in Mendoza. Aged for four months in the bottle prior to release. Packed with effusive notes of blackberry, damson and cassis overlain with a subtle hint of spice. An aromatic note of floral violet adds to its heady charm. Gloriously ripe with a lively freshness and vigour. Excellent structure and persistence. Brilliant with steak and strong cheeses.
