Description

Once a supporting actor in Bordeaux blends, Malbec has transformed itself into one of the wine world’s great singular varieties — beloved for its rich, plummy fruit, velvety texture and remarkable affinity with food. The desert heat of Osoyoos, one of the most consistent and intense growing environments in Canada, produces a Malbec that holds its own against far more famous wine regions.

Bordertown’s Malbec showcases intense ripe red fruits and black raspberry at the heart, with enticing hints of mulled spices that add an aromatic complexity not always found in Malbec. The palate is generous and satisfying — supple, velvety texture and wonderfully integrated tannins. Rated 92 points by John Schreiner, with a Gold Medal at the National Wine Align Awards 2022 and a Silver Medal at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition 2022.

A Malbec built for the South Okanagan BBQ season — and every other occasion.

Malbec’s fruit-forward character and soft tannins make it exceptionally food-friendly. It’s brilliant alongside grilled beef and an Argentine chimichurri (a pairing true to the grape’s adopted South American home), smash burgers, slow-smoked brisket, spiced beef empanadas and lamb ribs with pomegranate molasses. One of our most popular wines for outdoor cooking and casual entertaining.

100% estate-grown on our Osoyoos vineyard. BC VQA certified. Decant 20 minutes. A genuinely impressive Okanagan expression of a globally beloved variety.
