    Tussock Jumper Malbec – Freshly Done

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: October 29, 2019 Last Updated: June 1, 2021

    Tasty Malbec at a great price, the Tussock Jumper Malbec.

    Tussock Jumper Malbec – Freshly Done

    100% Malbec from from Tulum Valley, San Juan, Argentina. The wine spends 3 months in French and American oak barrels and has 4.5 g/L of residual sugar.

    Sample submitted for review. The Tussock Jumper Malbec has an SRP of $10 and is available for as low as $8. Imported by Tri-Vin Imports..

    From the winery:

    Everything starts in vineyards located in Caucete district, 650 metres above sea level, in a soil of alluvial origin with texture from sandy loam to clay loam and low content of organic matter. My grapes are hand-harvested and immediately sent for winemaking process in order to keep the optimum conditions. Before travelling around the world to meet you, I partly rest for 3 months in company with French and American oaks.

    13% Alcohol

    The 2018 Tussock Jumper Malbec opens with very pleasing aromas of fresh black cherry and blackberry along with nice touches of spice and vanilla. The wine tastes smooth and rich and is full fresh fruit like blackberry, black cherry and raspberry. The excellent touches of spice from the nose also re-appear in the mouth. Streaks of cola and licorice emerge mid-palate and lead into the dry, long finish that even features a bit of minerality and lingering hints of coffee. This is an excellent example of Malbec for the low price.
