La Mascota Malbec is a generous, full-bodied Argentine red that delivers the rich dark-fruit flavours and smooth, rounded texture many people love about Malbec. Ripe blackberry and plum take centre stage, with subtle liquorice and vanilla adding depth without making the wine taste overtly oaky.
It's an appealing choice when you want a substantial, satisfying red that feels approachable rather than demanding. The combination of ripe fruit, supple tannins and developed flavour makes La Mascota particularly enjoyable alongside grilled meat, but there's plenty of pleasure here simply in the glass.
Merchant Tip: Not sure where to start with Malbec? La Mascota is our best-selling Malbec, and a very good place to begin. Its generous dark-fruit flavours and smooth, rounded character make it an approachable introduction to the richer style of Argentine Malbec that so many of our customers enjoy.
Nose: Ripe blackberry and plum aromas, with hints of vanilla and liquorice.
Palate: Rich, full-bodied and generously fruity, with dark berries, ripe plum and subtle sweet spice. The tannins are smooth and rounded, while the oak-derived flavours sit comfortably alongside the fruit.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering dark fruit and gentle liquorice notes.
La Mascota's generous fruit character is complemented by maturation in oak barrels. Rather than producing a noticeably woody wine, this adds layers of flavour and helps create the rounded, harmonious drinking experience that makes La Mascota so appealing.
Particularly enjoyable with grilled steak, roast beef, lamb or richly flavoured burgers. Its generous fruit and smooth texture also make it a good partner for mature cheeses.
Serve slightly below room temperature to keep the fruit lively and the wine feeling balanced.
