Diemersfontein Carpe Diem Malbec Reserve 2021

Description

The 2021 Diemersfontein Carpe Diem Malbec Reserve is a testament to the innovative spirit of its owners, David & Sue Sonnenberg, who decided to start a wine business after the age of 50. This Malbec is a decadent blend of berries and plums, with subtle liquorice and cherry tobacco aromas, followed by lively and finely structured tannin. It pairs well with lean cuts of meat like flank, sirloin, and skirt steak, and is perfect for enjoying with dark chocolate and a crackling fire. The wine undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, including malolactic fermentation lasting approximately 6 weeks, and is matured for 14 months in French barrels.
