Great Value Chilean Malbec
Description
This Chilean red takes its name from Lastarria, one of the coolest neighbourhoods - or 'barrios' in Santiago and a hotspot for lovers of top Chilean wines. It's a lovely ripe and juicy wine with plenty of fruit flavours (plum and blueberry), while 6 months in oak has added a a smoky vanilla note. A top wine to pair with red meat dishes.
Tasting Note
Lastarria Reserva Malbec is a ripe and juicy wine with intense plum and blueberry fruit flavours and floral hints of violets. Ripe tannins provide structure and the 6 months ageing using French and American oak add a touch of sweet smokey vanilla spice to the finish.
