The Mitre's Edge Malbec 2020 from South Africa is a deep ruby-red wine with vibrant purple hues.
On the nose, expect ripe blackberry, black plum, and dark cherry, lifted by a floral hint of violet and subtle oak-derived vanilla and mocha.
On the palate, it’s dry with medium (+) acidity, providing freshness against its rich, concentrated dark fruit core—think blackcurrant, bramble, and a touch of blueberry—complemented by notes of cedar, cocoa, and a faint earthy undertone of graphite. The tannins are ripe and grippy, well-integrated with medium (+) alcohol, leading to a medium (+) finish with lingering spice and dark fruit.
A well-balanced, modern Malbec with enough structure for short-term ageing, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats or smoky BBQ.
