2015 Edward Family Reserve Malbec
Malbec originates from Bordeaux, but of late has become more closely associated with South America, where the Argentineans (and to a lesser extent the Chileans) are now making their name based on its deep-coloured, tannic wines. Malbec is planted the length and breadth of Australia, but relatively little of it makes its way into a varietal wine—most blending it with its Bordelais cousins, Cabernet and Merlot.
We love Malbec! It has a beautiful nose of redcurrants and stewed red fruits, followed immediately by the dried sage and crushed dried leaves. Typical Malbec. The palate features these intriguing counterpoints of sweet fruit and dried herbs; all supported by suede-like, fine tannins.
What to eat with it? Do as the Argentineans do—enjoy a rare, well-aged steak garnished with fresh garlic and parsley. Or pair it with vintage Cheddar or mature (Spanish) Manchego.
