Fidélitas Red Mountain Malbec
WHY WE LOVE IT
- This 100% Malbec is sourced from four premium growing sites, each contributing a unique expression to the blend: 39% from Scooteney Flats Vineyard, 37% from Hamilton Vineyard, 22% from Quintessence Vineyard, and 2% from Fidélitas Estate Vineyard.
- This results in a well-rounded wine with great complexity, delicious in its youth yet can be laid down in the cellar to be enjoyed in a few years’ time.
Varietal: 100% Malbec
Tasting Notes: Wonderful ripe fruit characteristics and rich mid-palate. On the aroma, we get plum, dark chocolate, and black cherry. The palate is rich and round with mouthwatering acidity on the finish—white pepper, blackberry, and blueberry.
