The EastDell Black Label Malbec is a classic cool-climate Niagara red wine with notes of dark fruits, vanilla and black pepper.
The 2020 growing season in Niagara was marked by favourable conditions for Malbec. Warm days and cool nights allowed for gradual ripening, ensuring optimal flavour development. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves fruit purity, while oak aging imparts subtle vanilla notes and enhances overall complexity. The result is a well-balanced Malbec that reflects both the varietal characteristics and the influence of Niagara's unique climate and soil.
Winemaker's Description
Inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of dark chocolate precede a palate rich in dark fruit, subtle vanilla, and a touch of black pepper. Velvety tannins and vibrant acidity contribute to a harmonious, full-bodied experience. The lingering finish encapsulates the meticulous craftsmanship behind this robust and expressive Malbec.
Pair with grilled meats, particularly steak or lamb, to enhance the wine's bold fruitiness. The wine's structure complements rich pasta dishes, such as beef ragu or mushroom-infused pastas.
