Vinification Details

  • The grapes were harvested in the early morning to preserve all the flavours and aromas. After gentle destalking, the grapes are crushed and moved to stainless steel tanks where pre-fermentation maceration takes place for 3 days at 10 degrees Celsius. Standard maceration follows with 2 pump overs and the grapes left to ferment until dry. Winemaker - Johan Gerber

History

  • The vines were planted between 2000 and 2004. Choice of cultivar clone and rootstock were well selected in the rich soils that the Western Cape offers. Vines are pruned to deliver well balanced crop and vineyard practices gets managed accordingly. The need for irrigation gets monitored on a weekly basis to ensure the vines never stress during ripening phase

Even at the discounted Club Card price ,this is a pretty awful Malbec!!! Clearly you are trying to compensate for your buyers poor judgement ??? I won't be fooled again !!!

Disappointing

2 stars

Very disappointing. I normally rely on the Finest brand as a mark of quality. What we have here is a thin, shallow wine.Can't wait for the Finest Argentinian Malbec to come back in.

Very disappointing and unpleasant wine.

1 stars

We are used to enjoying Malbec wines from Mendoza Argentina. This South African Malbec is the worst Malbec we have ever tasted, very acidic and unpleasant. Down the drain with it. The really poor quality has prompted this, the very first Tesco review I’ve ever posted.

Don't bother

3 stars

Underwhelming. Supposed to be "finest" but I really don't think so. Thin on taste and too acidic. And horrendously overpriced for what it is. Don't bother with this one.

Nice Vegan Malbec

5 stars

Had to do some research for vegan wines and Malbec is one of my favourites so, it was nice to see this one. Nothing wrong with it. Smooth, little fruity and little spicy. Very easy on the palette. Pre vegan, I drank Barefoot Malbec. That one is richer, more full bodied but this one is a good enough substitute in my opinion. One suggestion for Tesco - could the aisles/sections have a label attached so that we could see certain wines are Vegan please.

Lovely smooth Malbec at a great price. I always ha

5 stars

Lovely smooth Malbec at a great price. I always have a few bottles in the cupboard and have never had any complaints when serving to visitors.

I had it on my own with a steak during lockdown.

4 stars

Yes smooth good value

Poor quality.

1 stars

Very poor quality wine; harsh, acidic and unlovely. Tesco also overcharged me, stating a shelf edge offer was in error, refusing a refund.....which left almost as bad a taste as the wine itself.

Revolting!

1 stars

Disgusting!!!! Malbec is my usual red tipple, but this was actually so bad, I poured it and the other bottle purchased down the sink. Very, very disappointed and didn’t want to rate it even one star.
