Maison Renard Bordeaux Malbec
Maison Renard Bordeaux Malbec
Rarely if ever does one encounter pure Malbec from Bordeaux? Yet here it is. While working on the wine Maison Renard Bordeaux, winemaker Lars Torstenson came across a tank with what he considered a strikingly pure and distinct Malbec, and so it came to be. A rather unique wine with a clear imprint of its origin, Bordeaux, and an equally clear imprint of the grape, Malbec.

Character
Pure and varietal in style; a full-bodied, dark-fruited wine with pronounced tannins. Enjoyable now but will only improve with a couple of years' cellaring, and for those wanting a mature wine, 5+ years of ageing is recommended.
Food pairing
Excellent with grilled meats, game or mushroom dishes.
Vinification
The grapes come from a small plot managed according to organic principles. The wine is made exclusively from Malbec (Cot) and has been both vinified and aged in concrete tanks. After four days of cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation commenced and continued for just under ten days at 25°C, followed by an additional week of skin maceration at 19°C. No fining agents were used; clarification occurred naturally over time. Only a very light filtration was performed before bottling. Fully fermented.
