Pepperjack Mendoza Malbec 2024 is a rich, elegant, and characterfully Argentine expression — personally sourced in Mendoza by winemaker Richard Mattner to maintain the distinctive Pepperjack quality and style. Dark black with red highlights; a bouquet of violets, spices, ripe blueberries, and boysenberry with subtle mocha oak nuances; vibrant red cherry and fresh cranberry on the palate, balanced by savoury, chalky tannins that provide length and elegance. Matured in a combination of stainless steel tanks (with and without oak treatment) and seasoned and new French oak barrels. Mendoza Malbec at its most refined and rewarding.
