Supple savoury, fresh.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series offers consistency and value.
Harvested from estate grown fruit from Agrelo, the 2021 vintage delves into aromas of plums and roasted red bell peppers, grilled herbs, black chocolate and black olives, brown spices and a hint of violet. It's a wine with a supple entry and some textural chew mid-palate and it leans earthier on the palate. Chocolate, dark roast espresso and spice flavours dominate. Fresh and classic with notable persistence.
It's a wine for dense proteins, such as hard cheeses, grilled mushrooms and roasted meats.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

This vintage, the typically consistent 1884 Malbec delivers wild black berries, violets and smoked spices atop savoury notes of roasted meat, dried herbs and espresso. It's fresh, slightly leaner than the previous vintage, and shows savoury flavours with soft tannins and fleur de sel on the finish.

Fresh, spicy, balanced.
This vintage, the 1884 Malbec is brighter overall. Expect high-toned red berry aromas, vanilla, bayleaf and mint chocolates. It is succulent and equally fresh; mocha, mixed spice and cracked pepper and wild berries dominate the palate. Great balance here, an excellent daily red.
