Mathilda's Mood '21

This malbec was made using traditional methods but with grapes grown by our partner Mathilde Broto from Montbrun-des-Corbières in the Languedoc-Roussillon region by the southern coast of France. Typical wines from here tend to be more easy going, fruity and juicy, than its northern siblings. Mathilda’s Mood was aged for 6 months in French oak barrels. The barrel ageing has added some vanilla and roundness to the wine.

In the wine-world today, malbec is almost synonymous with Mendoza in Argentina, where our head winemaker Juan is originally from (and in contrary to modern associations, the malbec grape actually originated in France). Malbec wines tend to be dry, full-bodied, and they often exhibit rich notes and flavours of dark fruit like blackberry, plum and black cherries. In contact with oak they also develop notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate.

The perfect match for any occasion that can use a bit of character. Works equally perfect for movie nights as for a visit to your parents-in-law. Goes perfectly with foods like steak, thai beef salad, charcuterie, manchego, crostini with tomatoes.
