Opi Malbec Rosé 2017

Mendoza

Mendoza’s high altitude vineyards are ideal for Malbec and, thanks to the long growing season, great for aromatic, berry scented rosés too. No surprise then that this lush pink – bursting with ripe, red, summer fruit – is hugely refreshing.

This is a delightful, fruity rosé made especially for us by Rodolfo (nicknamed Opi) Sadler, chief winemaker at Andean Vineyards. Not only is Opi rated among the Top Ten winemakers in the country, but he also scooped ‘Best Malbec of Argentina’ in 2008 – no small feat as this is the country’s flagship red grape. His regular Malbec has long been a customer favourite, so we asked him to make a deliciously refreshing pink version. He selected grapes from vineyards high up in Mendoza, so they have piercing freshness, and abundant fruit and aroma – perfect for vibrant pinks. Irresistible as a glass solo, Opi Malbec Rosé is surprisingly versatile with food. Try with pea and pancetta risotto, chicken, poached salmon or lightly spiced Asian dishes.
