Deslocado Malbec Tinto

Description

Deslocado Malbec Tinto is a red wine from Alentejo, Portugal, produced by Deslocado. The winemaking is overseen by Rui Reguinga. It is made from the Malbec grape. Deslocado Malbec is fermented in tank at a controlled temperature of 24–25 °C, then aged for 12 months in new and used French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing. It shows a garnet colour, with aromas of black plum and hints of spice. On the palate it has good structure, soft tannins, excellent balance, and an elegant, persistent finish. It pairs well with spicy dishes and red meats. Serve at 16–18 °C. With an alcohol content of 14.5% vol., it comes in a 0.75 L bottle. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which allows the aromas to breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
