Muscular, layered, savoury.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series has seen a facelift, the new label is more elegant, but not a huge departure from previous vintages.
Blackberry, wild red berries and cola spice aromas are layered with roasted herbs, mocha and violets. It's a muscular red with intensity; it also shows notable balance and structure.
It's a perfect pairing for dense proteins, such as hard cheeses, grilled mushrooms and roasted meats.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

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.
Made for dense proteins, such as hard cheeses, grilled mushrooms and roasted meats.

New, savoury, fresh.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series offers consistency and value.
This new blend in the lineup and it stand up well against the others. Notes of cherries and vanilla, chocolate liqueur and licorice, spice rub and espresso along with savoury dried herbs and a hint of apricot. The palate echoes the nose; expressive and fresh it doles out flavours of red and purple fruits, cocoa and coffee, tobacco and charred herbs. The finish is firm.

Fleshy, fragrant, smooth.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series remains consistent vintage after vintage.
The Syrah is always a favourite in the lineup and it stays true to that in the 2021.
Notes of bay leaf and grilled herbs, spiced rub and white pepper, smoked meat and tea are layered with fresh blackberry, plum and fragrant violets. It's a fleshy wine with notable structure and balance. Purple berries and mocha, pepper and savoury herbal flavours dominate. The finish is fresh.
A solid partner for game meats, roasted wild mushrooms, aged cheeses and cheese fondue.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Appealing, fragrant, generous
Another appealing vintage of the 1884 Syrah, the 2018 is directed by fragrant black raspberry, vanilla, liquorice and white pepper atop candied violets and bay leaf. Equally engaging the mouth it has a supple weight and generous sweet fruit layered with peppery spices, cocoa and vanilla, and finishes with a good measure of clove. Overall balanced and thorough but sill youthfully compact.
