Nice Drinks, Wine for Heroes Malbec
Cross-Regional, Argentina, Dry Red, Cork, 13.5% abv(2020) There's a really interesting story behind this wine, from canned wine specialist Nice Drinks: an Argentinian Malbec originally intended to be sold in 25cl cans for the summer festival season, Covid obviously spoiled that plan, so instead it has been bottled in regular 75cl bottles, with all proceeds going to NHS charities. Nurse Ella is pictured on the label of the re-branded wine: "Wine for Heroes". I won't lie to you and say it is the best Malbec I've every tasted, but it is a perfectly quaffable example that pushes the Malbec buttons of being fruity and creamy, sweet and ripe on the mid-palate, with enough acidity and soft tannin to balance. The most important thing about the wine is the cause of course: nice-drinks.co.uk/heroes. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas.
