Grape names can be confusing. Auxerrois is a white grape grown in Alsace. Auxerrois is also a red grape grown in Cahors; but in Argentina, Cahors’ Auxerrois is called Malbec and it’s what they do best in the Mendoza Valley. This is a prime example. Dense ruby-purple in colour, it has a smoky, minerally, red berry nose; it’s full-bodied, dry, soft and unctuous on the palate with well-integrated oak. Good value.
