Red wineMt. Brave Malbec
Read moreThe 2014 Mt. Brave Malbec is a powerful and refined wine from the high-altitude vineyards of Mount Veeder in Napa Valley. This wine highlights the potential of Malbec in this unique terroir, where the rocky soils and high altitude provide impressive concentration and complexity.
The grapes are harvested by hand from vineyards at an altitude of 425 to 550 metres. The poor, well-drained soils and temperate climate contribute to slow ripening, resulting in grapes with intense flavours and an excellent balance between ripeness and freshness.

The bouquet is rich and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, violets and a hint of spice. On the palette, the wine offers a velvety texture with firm, ripe tannins and lively acidity. Flavours of dark chocolate, plums and spices are followed by a long, mineral finish with a refined balance.
The wine has aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 80% of which are new. This ageing adds depth and elegance, while preserving the Malbec's fruity and floral characteristics.
The 2014 Mt. Brave Malbec has a storage potential of 10 to 15 years and is an ideal companion to dishes such as grilled ribeye, spicy lamb chops or roasted mushrooms. It is a great example of how Malbec can shine in the Napa Valley terroir and offers a unique experience for lovers of this grape variety.
