Overview

"The Black Watch" Malbec is a showcase of intensity and elegance, mirroring the disciplined heritage of its namesake. In a region where Malbec is often a blending component, this vintage stands as a singular expression of the varietal's potential when nurtured under precise viticultural conditions. It eloquently expresses the Saltire emphasising a dark, brooding fruit profile supported by a sophisticated, velvet-like structure.

The wine opens with a striking aromatic profile of violets, dark chocolate, and black cherry. The palate is defined by its extraordinary depth and concentration, offering a harmonious balance between opulent fruit and polished tannins. It is a candidate for cellaring that promises to reward patience with increasing complexity, though its current vibrancy makes it an ideal companion for slow-cooked meats and aged cheeses.
