Barefoot Malbec (1.5L, 13.5%)

Barefoot Malbec is a fruit-forward California Malbec made from 100% Malbec grapes sourced primarily from California's Central Valley, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 1.5-litre format. A signature touch of carbon dioxide, sometimes called the Barefoot spritz, is added to lift fruit aromatics. The nose leads with ripe blackberry and dark cherry, followed by sweet plum and a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg, with gentle caramel, vanilla and lightly toasted oak underneath. The palate is juicy and immediate, with blackberry and black currant in a jammy style, vanilla, warm baking spice and soft, chalky tannins. The finish is medium in length with damson plum and toasted oak.
