The Malbec grape was once popular in Bordeaux but these days it is mostly associated with Argentina. Here we have a rosé made of the bold Malbec grape coming from the Mendoza region. It is dry yet full of red berry fruit aromas. With a chill, it is as crisp and delicious as any rosé we've tasted.

Staff Pick Notes

You may be asking yourself, Rosè in the fall? I say, “Why Not?” This beautifully colored Rosè is one for all seasons. It’s a mild mannered wine that’s light, dry, with red berries on the nose and palate and is very easy going down. Serve as an aperitif with mild cheeses at your next dinner party and I’m sure you and your guests won’t think twice about having a Rosè outside the summer months.

So, I say, let’s join them and send a toast to the Argentineans that have done this Malbec right :)

If you prefer your red wines spicy,...

Malbec

Known as Côt throughout much of France, Malbec is the dark-skinned variety that put Argentinian wine on the map - and likewise, Argentinian Malbec saved the grape from near obscurity.

As the grape can be quite difficult to cultivate, it has become far less popular over the years, even in its Bordeaux home. Its South American renaissance has ensured, however, that...
