Combel La Serre Le Pur Fruit Du Causse - Cahors

In 2021, this certified organic French winery from Cahors produced a remarkable Malbec. The winery's story started in 1998 when Jean - Pierre left a cooperative winery to go solo. His son and daughter - in - law later joined him, and together they've crafted outstanding wines. The Malbec grapes are grown on 30 - year - old vines, about 300 meters above sea level, in clay - rich and limestone soils. Despite its rich, bold red hue, this wine is light - bodied and fruit - forward, with distinct notes of blackberries, tobacco, and spice. It's the perfect match for a flank steak or Manchego cheese.

To enjoy this Malbec, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Pour it into a wide - bowl glass to enhance the aroma. Serve it at a temperature between 55 - 60°F (12 - 16°C). When pairing, remember that the wine's fruitiness and spice go well with the savory flavor of flank steak or the nutty taste of Manchego cheese. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its best flavor.
