From the master winemaker behind Cabalié comes this cracking Malbec. After finding top quality grapes from 30-year-old vines, Hervé Sabardeil knew he'd found something special. The result? A supple fruity red with a seductively smooth finish.

Hasn't Malbec come a long way? It used to produce the tough, tannic reds of SW France, then Argentina got a hold of it and made it a global superstar. Not to be out done, France is revisiting this grape and, with refined techniques and careful handling, showing just how appealing its wines can be. Hervé discovered a plot of 30-year-old vines in the Languedoc's Vallée de l'Orb, on soil covered with big boulder-like stones which produces grapes with lovely intensity and ripeness. Impressed, he bagged the lot. Hand harvesting, gentle handling, and just a short time on its skins, have resulted in a silky, ripe, supple wine, with ample fruit tinged with herbs and liquorice. A fine choice with marinaded pork chops, roast chicken or veggie kebabs.
