Artesano De Argento Organic Fairtrade Malbec - Tesco

An organic Malbec from Argentina - at Tesco

Malbec is Argentina's signature red grape; recently, I've had more French Malbec than Argentinean recently and this one sits somewhere between the elegant Old World style and something fruitier and more approachably New World.

Artesano De Argento Organic Fairtrade Malbec 2019 (£10, Tesco) black fruits and spice; elderberries, dark plums and blueberries with oak and mocha; fresh, inky and vibrant with harmonious, well-integrated tannins and good underpinnings.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

A "Christopher Nolan" sort of wine; match with posh barbecue foods.
