2022 Blank Bottle Jaa-Bru
£34.00
“Bold and inky in the glass, with a nose of farmyard earth, iodine and red cherries. There’s pomegranate and red fruit salad on the palate, as well as cocoa powder and garden mint. Lots of lovely layers here and a plush mouthfeel. Made from Malbec grown by Alex Starey of Keermont Vineyards and named after the phrase Starey uses every time he answers the phone to Pieter Walser (Afrikaans translation – ‘yes, brother!’).”

Product Description
If you translate the word “Mal” from Afrikaans to English, it means “crazy” and “Bek” means “mouth”. And that was quite clearly the inspiration behind this label! And as you guessed it, this is a 100% Malbec from the Helderberg, farmed by a fellow surfer and good friend’s of Pieter. Dark chocolate dipped oranges, with some minty notes, violets and a sweet perfume akin to opening a box of chocolates on the nose. Medium-full bodied, and very much so showing the softer, prettier side of Malbec, with gentle tannins, good freshness, and a lovely rounded mouthfeel.
