Named after the Greek word for “grape cluster”, *Iris* captures everything that makes Mendoza Malbec so crowd-pleasing - with a fresher, more easygoing twist. Plump and juicy with aromas of ripe plum, violets and fresh raspberry. The palate is smooth and fruit-forward, with soft tannins and a flicker of peppery spice on the finish. Lively, approachable and full of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChargrilled steak or burgers with chimichurri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpicy black bean tacos with roasted peppers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled halloumi with aubergine and tomato relish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is a brilliant ‘weeknight’ Malbec – all the bold fruit and generous warmth you expect, but with a softer edge and a bit of a floral lift.
