Doolhof Wine Estate Malbec 2008

This is a complex, exciting wine with hints of mint and prune aromas.
The grapes were hand picked and the wine was matured in 50% new French oak barrels for 14 months.  This delicious wine with its rich, dark purple colour has violets, spice and aniseed aromas.  Hints of mint and prunes contribute to a complex, exciting wine.  The tannins are firm and well integrated.  Bottled in September 2008.

Serve with mint lamb, roast potatoes, cheese or black cherries.
