Recently awarded the Best World Winemaker of Red Wine, as well as a host of other awards including best Argentinian winery, the Decanter Malbec Gold Trophy and exceptionally high rating from Tim Atkins, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, and James Suckling. Fabre Montmayou pioneered the making of single varietal wine from Malbec grapes with 45-year-old vines, grapes hand-harvested and transported in trays to the cellar to avoid damage. Fermentation with natural yeast and a 30-day maceration period before being aged for 12 months in French oak.
In the glass
Deep Malbec red with a light purple rim. Complex black pepper, blackcurrant, nutmeg, vanilla and paprika nose with a sweet morello cherry, liquorice, spice and chocolate palate. Beautifully well balanced. Persistent, elegant finish with smooth tannins.
United KingdomThis has become a go-to for me as a lockdown comfort red. Rich plum, chocolate and blueberry flavours belie a weaker nose. A cut above in this price range.
Thank you so much for your review! We've worked with Herve Fabre for many years and his Malbec is legendary! We can also highly recommend his Assemblage - different style, great price and equally well made... We would love to know what you think!
United KingdomThe 2017 is just coming to be a very good wine - so we wanted to try the next vintage. The 2018 is already more open than the 2017 - but with a touch more acidity at the finish. The Fabre Montmayou malbecs have been one of our favourite styles of red for many years. They're good value for money, and usually worth keeping - not ***** too young. I should mention that the people at Wine at Home are very knowledgeable - good to get their opinions.
Thank you for your very helpful review! One of our perennial classics from the talented Herve Joyaux. We are down to the very last bottles of his exceptional Cabernet Franc 2015 which is absolutely exceptional at the moment and we think you may also enjoy. Thanks again for your review and your support.
Such a nice drinkable red goes with everything
Thanks for the review! One of our best sellers. So well made and packed full of fruit. Signature Fabre Montmayou...
United KingdomBowled over by the quality of this wine (and many of the others on this website, but this is our favourite). Superb service and very efficient. We have ordered several boxes of these wines and, so far, been delighted with the results. Thoroughly recommend!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! So glad you like the wine!
United KingdomWe really enjoyed this red and have just ordered more! Wineathome provide great customer service, delivery is speedy and usually free, with a courtesy call/email with an estimated delivery day and time. We have also enjoyed the mixed cases as a way of trying a variety of wines without having to put any thought into it - a must for those who are strapped for time and short on wine expertise! Many thanks, keep up the great work.
