Phebus Malbec Rosé: A Refreshing Exploration of Argentina's Star Grape

Hailing from Argentina's renowned Mendoza region, Phebus Malbec Rosé offers a unique perspective on the country's emblematic Malbec grape. Unlike its full-bodied red counterparts, this rosé embraces a lighter style, showcasing the versatility of Malbec and the expertise of Bodegas Fabre.

Winemaker's Vision:

Crafted by Hervé Joyaux Fabre, a Bordeaux native with a deep appreciation for Argentinean potential, Phebus Malbec Rosé reflects a commitment to quality and innovation. Fabre leverages his French background to implement meticulous practices throughout the winemaking process, ensuring the finest expression of Malbec in a rosé form.

Grapes and Vinification:

Phebus Malbec Rosé stays true to its namesake, utilising 100% Malbec grapes. Harvested by hand in late February, the grapes undergo a rigorous sorting process to select only the most impeccable fruit. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, preserving the delicate fruit character and vibrant colour of the wine.

Tasting Profile:

Appearance:  Phebus Malbec Rosé boasts a beautiful pale pink hue, reminiscent of a summer sunrise. Hints of salmon and rose gold shimmer within the glass, hinting at the delightful flavours to come.

Aroma:  The first breath entices with a burst of fresh summer berries. Strawberries, raspberries, and a touch of redcurrant dance on the nose, interwoven with subtle floral notes of rose petal and lavender.

Palate:  Crisp and lively on the entry, the wine explodes with juicy fruit flavours that mirror the aromas. The refreshing acidity cuts through the delicate sweetness, creating a perfect balance. Hints of minerality add complexity, while the finish lingers with a touch of citrus zest.

Food Pairing:

Phebus Malbec Rosé is a versatile food pairing companion.  Its light-bodied style makes it ideal for summer salads, grilled seafood dishes, and light pasta creations.  For an Argentinean twist, pair it with grilled chorizo or empanadas. The wine also shines as an apéritif, enjoyed on its own or with a light cheese board.

Overall Impression:

Phebus Malbec Rosé is a delightful and refreshing expression of Malbec.  This innovative rosé showcases the quality potential of Argentinean grapes and the expertise of Bodegas Fabre. With its vibrant fruit flavours, crisp acidity, and beautiful colour, Phebus Malbec Rosé is a perfect choice for any summer celebration or a delightful exploration of Malbec's versatility.
