It’s world Malbec day on 17th April, did you know?The least we can all do is to try some of these first class wines, remembering to toast the day.

 

Frost of course, is first off the starting blocks to try the wines we’re featured below. Such good value, such elegant wines, both of them.

 

Tributo Malbec 2015

Tributo means homage, and therefore, with Tributo, Viña Caliterra honors the quality of its land, its people, and all of the details that come together in perfect harmony to create an exceptional wine.  A lively red colour, this elegant wine has intense notes of berries and violets on the nose, with soft spicy hints too.

RRP: £13.30

Left Field Malbec 2014

And so the story begins:

Down a dark alleyway the brooding and intense characters of blackberry and liquorice meet the heroically proportioned mass of dark chocolate draped in smooth, fine velvet. Imbibe on its own or devour with a rare cut of beef.

 RRP: £17.45
