Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the foothills of the Andes, Finca La Escuela La Grava 2017 Malbec is rich with blackberry, mulberry and smoky oak spice flavours juicy and rich on the palate. So fresh. Drink now and pair with grilled beef ribs. The Malbec grapes for this vintage were sourced from gravel, sand, silt, and limestone soils.

Malbec food pairings: roast beef, beef bourguignons, stew and shepherd's pie.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of blueberry and blackberry, with hints of black pepper. Full bodied, smooth and rounded on the palate, with bright acidity, and deep, rounded fruit notes, and a finish with a hint of spice and minerality. Enjoy with any marinated grilled meats.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
