  Aruma 2021, Mendoza, Argentina

  £15.95 Buy Malbec is all the rage in the UK, and has been for a few years. The grape variety flourishes in Mendoza, and it would be fair to say it produces the best results on the planet.

It's no surprise then that this fruit-filled, punchy and utterly gorgeous Malbec delivers oodles of luscious black fruit and spice.  The 2020 represent a return to form for Aruma with notes of violets, cassis and chocolate covered blueberry. Great stuff!
