Concha y Toro Frontera Malbec (1.5L, 12.5%)

A 100% Malbec red wine from Chile's Central Valley, bottled in a 1.5-litre magnum. It is part of the Frontera range, Concha y Toro's widely distributed value line, and is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks for approximately five months to preserve fresh fruit character. The grapes are harvested in March. The wine is medium-bodied, with red plum, dark cherry, forest fruit and a faint marmalade-like sweetness on the nose, plus a light baking spice note. The palate is soft and fruit-forward, with black cherry, dark plum, gentle round tannins and a hint of chocolate. The finish is short to medium, clean and smooth, with lingering dark plum and warm spice.
