Trapiche Oak Cask Malbec 2019

Mendoza, Argentina

This sultry Argentinan will tango with tastebuds, and dance with your accountant
Trapiche bring a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Great Value Wine’. I guess being a regular on the ‘Value Brands of the Year’ and Worlds Best Producer will kind of do that to you.
Argentina’s most revered grape variety is Malbec, and Trapiche sure have cracked it with this one. The 2018 Oak Cask greets you with blackberry, cassis and plum flavours before the sultry Argentinian brings out its tasty tannins with layered with savoury chocolate and smoky oak.
Case of 6 ($14.90/bottle)

The Trapiche Oak Cask over delivers itself with unbelievable value on such a quaffable red. No wonder Trapiche recently got handed the title of ‘World’s Best Producer’ and ‘Argentina Wine Producer of the Year’. Under the guidance of Winemaker Daniel Pi the Oak Cask Malbec draws on all 125 years of Trapiche’s winemaking history and proudly presents Argentina’s most famous grape – Malbec. The aptly named Oak Cask eludes us to the 9 months spent in French and American Oak, while the Malbec variety should give us the richness of a Cabernet Sauvignon but the fruit of a Merlot, which this does in spades!
It’s the eyes that first get to experience of the 2018 harvest and it’s vibrant Malbec colours now sealed with a screwcap. After sweet blackberries, cassis and plum flavours greet you, the dense rich tannins come and say hello in a sultry Argentinan manner with opposing flavours of chocolate and vanilla . Within these tasty tannins lie hints of savoury chocolate characters and smoky oak. Drop this wine in a glass next to some red meat straight from the BBQ, grill or pizza oven to complete the experience!
