Malbec reviews
The Wine
When people rave about Malbec they generally mean the smooth, rich Argentinian stuff.
But shipping small batched wines from Argentina can cause all sorts of headaches. Then there are the well behaved French options. Which aren’t very ‘us’.
So we’d almost given up hope of a Laylo Malbec, until an unlikely sample from Spanish winemaker Lauren Rosillo blew us away… A parcel of top notch grapes, nestled on top of a steep hill, soaking up the Spanish heat, in the hands of a bona fide winemaking legend. This Malbec's juicy mulberry, blackcurrant and caramel flavours shouldn't be possible outside of Argentina, but Lauren Rosillo has pulled it off.
Pair with red meat or blue cheese.
The Design
The Malbec is inspired by a traditional flamenco fan (or pericón).
When you think of flamenco, you probably imagine the fiery romance of its most famous dance - the Tango. But to achieve the illusion of impulsive passion requires years of study… The top performers combine lightning-fast footwork with absolute precision, much like the skills Lauren embodies in his winemaking.
The Winemaker
Winemaker Lauren Rosillo is a master of his craft. With degrees in technical agriculture, agricultural engineering and oenology under his belt, it’s fair to say he’s learnt the ‘fancy footwork’ of winemaking. But the result is anything but strait-laced… His wine is generous, passionate and unselfconscious.
The better way to buy wine
Top quality wines on tap, meaning you can enjoy a glass (or two!) without opening a whole bottle.
Plus, it's the sustainable option too, with each box producing 90% less CO2 than the same wine in glass bottles.
