Malbec 2021

Smooth yet bold, with a signature twist — the Mitre’s Edge Malbec is a beautifully expressive red that showcases the depth and elegance of this lesser-seen South African cultivar.

Tasting Profile

Bursting with ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of vanilla oak, this wine surprises with a distinctive menthol freshness that lifts the palate and adds intrigue. Hints of white pepper, earth, and gentle spice round out the profile, making it both comforting and complex. Medium- to full-bodied with silky tannins and a lingering finish.

Customer Notes

"Complex wine with a long lingering aftertaste. Prominent tannins, so can still age. The nose hits you like a mint. Anise and almost like a herbal tea on the nose. Very different but good."

“Loved this big and bold Malbec. Enjoyed it with a nice ostrich steak and a red wine sauce. Could age for another 10 years if you have the patience...otherwise give it another two or three years and will only be better”
