Description

Malbec Vintage Vin De Liqueur, Château du Cèdre 50cl

Malbec Vintage Vin De Liqueur, Château du Cèdre is dessert wine and so a close cousin of Vintage Port but with less alcohol and sweetness. Smooth and velvety, showing very fruity and complex aromas of blackberry, cassis and hints of violet, spices and cocoa with a long and fresh finish.

The Verhaeghe family have been making wine in the Lot since the 1950s. Today it is Pascal and Jean-Marc in charge of this certified organic domaine. They own three parcels of vineyards, the largest of which is 12.5 acres with stony calcareous clay called Tran, which plays an important role retaining heat and moisture. Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe produce excellent Malbec from these established vineyards. Drawing on his winemaking experience from California to Burgundy, Pascal delicately chisels wines of great elegance, rounding them off with judicious aging in new oak barriques.

Grower: Château du Cèdre

Serve at 16°-20°C.

Matches: many desserts or just with a bit of chocolate.

As with all wines on this website, this wine has been made without animal products. This is not the case with so many wines that are commonly on sale in the UK. Far too many wines have animal products used as a so-called production aid; they will often have a large array of chemical additives as well. Have a look at our page on additives allowed in wines. Many vegan wines are also organic or better still bio-dynamically grown. The care taken in growing the grapes and making the wine comes through in the taste of the final product. This is a vegan wine.
