Co-op Irresistible Fairtrade Organic Malbec 2019 review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

co op

A smooth and perfumed red wine made with the Malbec grape variety. Argentina has made this grape its own and their Malbec wines have improved immensely over the last few years, from what were mouth-puckering overly fruity monsters to more balanced flavours that you can drink with pleasure as soon as you open the bottle. The Co-op’s version has blackberry and blackcurrant flavours along with black cherry and a toffee sweetness. There’s a bit of black pepper spiciness to add an edge. Match to curries and ham pies. Lighter in flavour than the previous 2018 version.
