A Bold Expression of Freedom and Fire

Tasting Notes
A deep ruby-red in the glass, Disobedience 2021 greets the nose with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, beautifully intertwined with hints of smoked spices, cocoa, and wild herbs. The palate is rich and layered, offering velvety tannins and a balanced acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with a touch of oak and minerality.
Grape Composition
A carefully selected blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina. Each varietal contributes its unique character:
Malbec – Provides depth, dark fruit flavours, and a silky texture.
Cabernet Franc – Adds structure, herbal complexity, and a touch of spice.
Syrah – Enhances the blend with boldness, smokiness, and peppery notes.
Food Pairing
Designed to pair beautifully with open-flame grilled meats, rustic stews, and aged cheeses, Disobedience is the perfect companion for an asado feast or a quiet evening by the fire. Try it with ribeye steak, lamb chops, or smoked sausages to unlock its full potential.
The Story Behind the Wine
Inspired by Mallmann’s rebellious approach to life and cooking, this wine embodies his philosophy of freedom, simplicity, and embracing the wild. Just like his signature style of live-fire grilling, Disobedience is unrestrained, deeply expressive, and crafted to be enjoyed with good food, great company, and a touch of irreverence.
