Château Pierrail Malbec 2018 is a unique and intense red wine, made from 100% Malbec grapes, a rarity in the Bordeaux region, where this variety is normally used only in blends. This gives the wine a special depth and concentration, in which the characteristic power of Malbec clearly comes to the fore. The wine has a deep, dark purple colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberry, blackcurrant and plum dominate, supported by spicy notes of black pepper, cinnamon and a touch of tobacco. On the palate the wine is full and powerful, with firm, ripe tannins that provide a solid structure. The flavour is intense, with rich fruit and a subtle oak influence from ageing in oak barrels. The finish is long and complex, with a lovely balance between fruit and spice. This Château Pierrail Malbec 2018 is a robust, full-bodied wine that is ready to drink now, but can also age for a few more years for extra complexity. It is a perfect match for hearty dishes such as grilled meat, game or stews, and offers an interesting look at what Malbec can do in Bordeaux.
Perfect with grilled meat, stews and mature cheeses such as Gouda or Cheddar.
