The Gran Corte, meaning “great blend”, is the top wine from the estate and is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Syrah and is aged in new French oak along with a few years in their cellar before release.

Tasting notes
Inky purple hues with hints of garnet. The incredible intensity on the nose houses notes of rich blueberry juice, blackcurrant, vanilla, cocoa and spice. The palate is inky and full bodied, with deliciously fine tannins and exceptional length on the finish. This is a big, powerful yet refined wine; one of our favourites here at Waddesdon.

Gran Malbec 2013, Flechas de Los Andes, Argentina
£23.95 Buy This is an inky and incredibly intense Malbec, characters which are evident on both the palate and nose. After aeration the nose reveals notes of blackberry liqueur, roasted coffee, vanilla, crushed flowers and minerals. The tannins are sweet yet fairly prominent, so it is advised that you give this wine an hour or two in a decanter and serve with a protein rich dish. The fruit on the palate is incredibly dense and concentrated. This is serious Malbec that demands your attention, and one that should grace the dinner table - and maybe not the lunch table due to its rather generous levels of alcohol.
