One of Bordeaux’s five blending components, this grape has come into its own in Argentina, where it produces gutsy reds. Bellevue’s Malbec is one of a kind, bold and enchanting, our Wild Child, rapidly acquiring a cult following.

Tantalisingly wild on the nose, with scents of rosemary, fynbos and buchu, but soft on the palate with an abundance of plums and red cherries, underscored by hints of watercress and herbs.

In the cellar

The grapes were handpicked and were cold soaked before inoculation. The wine fermented for about five days, with pump-overs three times daily. After completing malolactic fermentation in tank, the wine was matured in French oak (20% new) for 12 months.

In the vineyard

From vineyard blocks dating back to 1990, now trellised and partly irrigated. Most of Bellevue's Malbec vineyards lie on the flat terrain alongside the Bottelary River, with one exception—a vineyard on a southern-facing hillside.
