Venta Vieja Malbec 2018
Vino de la Tierra de Castilla
Argentina was the first to revive our interest in France’s classic Malbec grape – showing us how it could ripen fully to produce intense, velvety wines. Now the Martínez Bujandas are leading the way in Spain with this dark, silky red from La Mancha.

Malbec is one of those grapes that just loves the sun – which is why it’s such a star performer in Argentina – the concentrated sunlight producing gorgeously ripe, chocolatey fruit. Plant Malbec in La Mancha, where sunshine is plentiful and land is cheap, and you have a recipe for a sensational, great value wine. It helps too if you have the expertise of the Martínez Bujanda family, a 130 year old Rioja dynasty with a reputation for innovation and excellence. Vinification in the Bujandas’ state of the art winery has captured all the sunny flavours of the perfectly ripened grapes in this delicious, modern red. Soft enough to enjoy as a glass on its own, it’s highly recommended, too, with pork casserole, leek and potato gratin or chicken pie.
