Fresh, layered, savoury.
Aromas of black raspberries, violets and toasted spice are woven with chargrill, dried herbs and espresso. A balanced and generous palate is savoury and layered, dark and ripe. The finish trails cocoa, spice and saline flavours.
It's a perfect pairing for dense proteins, such as hard cheeses, grilled mushrooms and roasted meats.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

Concentrated, brooding, substantial.
This vintage, the 1884 tempts with intense notes of blackberry jam, star anise, bruised violets, 80 percent dark chocolate mocha, prune plums and black pepper. It shows toasted oak, savoury spices, dark chocolate nibs and espresso on the palate. A substantial wine with a concentrated brooding character.

Supple savoury, fresh.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series offers consistency and value.
Harvested from estate grown fruit from Agrelo, the 2021 vintage delves into aromas of plums and roasted red bell peppers, grilled herbs, black chocolate and black olives, brown spices and a hint of violet. It's a wine with a supple entry and some textural chew mid-palate and it leans earthier on the palate. Chocolate, dark roast espresso and spice flavours dominate. Fresh and classic with notable persistence.

Muscular, salted, savoury.
The entire Escorihuela 1884 series has seen a facelift; the new label is more elegant, but not a huge departure from previous vintages.
Harvested from estate grown fruit from Agrelo, the 2020 vintage is more salient than recent vintages; toasted spices, tire rubber, espresso, leather, Earl Grey tea and licorice root aromas dominate. The palate shows grilled black plums, espresso, salted licorice and soy sauce flavours. The finish is silky, the tannins integrated.

Fresh, spicy, savoury.
This vintage, the typically consistent 1884 Malbec delivers wild black berries, violets and smoked spices atop savoury notes of roasted meat, dried herbs and espresso. It's fresh, slightly leaner than the previous vintage, and shows savoury flavours with soft tannins and fleur de sel on the finish.
