Description
In a nutshell:
A bold, biodynamic, fruit-driven Spanish Malbec with rich dark fruit flavours and a hint of spice that adds real character.
The lowdown:
This organic Malbec, never harvested before the second week in October, pretty late by Spanish standards, undergoes spontaneous fermentation and matures in a mix of third-use French oak and clay amphorae. The result is a wine, packed with power and complexity. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, rose, violets, and rosemary jump out of the glass, with a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it's concentrated with fine tannins, offering generous flavours of plum, blackberry, and bittersweet cocoa. There's also a touch of mint, dark cherry, tobacco, and black pepper. A wonderfully layered and satisfying wine with real depth.
The Producer:
Rosalia Molina, the owner and winemaker of Bodegas Altolandon, one of Spain's highest altitude wineries, crafts organic wines that truly capture the essence of DO Manchuela. At 1,100 metres above sea level, in central eastern Spain, her vineyards experience extreme day-night temperature swings, promoting even ripening and retaining natural acidity. Committed to biodiversity, Rosalia welcomes chickens, sheep, and pigs from local farms to roam freely, while using only natural fertilisers. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with minimal intervention, relying on native yeasts. Aged in clay amphora and French oak, her wines reflect a balance of texture, complexity, and the unique character of this high-altitude region. The result of all this? A range of accessible, well-made organic wines that offer great value without skimping on quality.
When to drink:
Lamb is an ideal match for this rich, complex Malbec, as its bold fruit and fine tannins complement the meat's savoury depth, but it also pairs wonderfully with aromatic dishes like Thai beef or Cuban pork, which bring out the wine's spice and floral notes really well.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
