A juicy Malbec with plum and spicy flavours. It was made by Hervé and Diane Joyaux Fabre in Mendoza, using fruit from 15 year old vines. The vineyards were planted at an altitude of 1200m, which brings cooler temperatures to ensure freshness. The wine was left un-oaked.

Tastes great with grilled meat, Thai food, pasta or risotto. Once opened, reseal the bottle between servings and finish in two or three days. Serve wine at room temperature.

"...Malbec is Argentinas best grape. This mouthwatering inky plum of a red proves it."Recommended by Jane Macquitty, The Times, October 2008

"...A good standard spicy red from Marks & Spencer is the 2008 Vinalta Malbec, from Argentina. This is a powerful red and ideal for roast meats. Malbec can be overpowering but this stays the right side of the line and you will love it."Recommended by Brian Moore, The Sun, October 2008

"...Under £8: Punches well above its weight with ripe blackberry fruit and a touch of spice. Serve with: A rare steak is ideal, or home-made burgers if you're budgeting."Recommended by Susy Atkins, Delicious Magazine, October 2008
