Malbec Pretty 2022, Fabre Montmayou
Great value Malbec from one of Argentina's most awarded winemakers.
This 100% Malbec is a lovely, soft red that still has plenty of fruity punch.
"Great value for money - didn't expect such a good quality wine at this price. Not as full bodied perhaps as the Malbec Reservado we bought last time but really easy to drink."
Fabre Montmayou pioneered the making of single varietal wine from Malbec grapes and this everyday example is made from grapes grown on 30-year-old vines, and vinified with no wood but in stainless steel casks, giving it a lightness of touch.
Expressive, spicy and ripe with cherry and blackcurrant aromas. More fruit on the palate with hints of liquorice and chocolate. Nice balance between fruit and tannins.
