Our 2021 single vineyard Malbec, made from our
Moon Curser Vineyard on the Osoyoos East Bench, is
the quintessential Okanagan Malbec, with fruit and
spice driving this enticing wine. It is a medium to
full-bodied red wine that is dark purple in colour.
Lively notes of fresh blueberries, white chocolate and
eucalyptus dominate the nose alongside subtle hints of
white pepper. The palate bursts with raspberry coulis,
mint, fig, nutmeg and lilac. These beautiful flavours
are in harmony with the subtle spice notes from the
French oak influence. The wine is perfectly structured
with round, chewy tannins balanced by a fresh, bright
acidity. This wine drinks well now, especially when
paired with dishes like stuffed eggplant, beef-filled
empanadas, or a strong Gorgonzola. With proper
cellaring, however, our 2021 Malbec will thrive and
develop beautifully through to 2030.

This wine was fermented in stainless steel but aged in French oak barrels (24% new). The wine begins with perfumed floral aromas mingled with blueberry. The palate is packed with red fruits – raspberry, cherry and red plum with a long, spicy finish.
