We have just taken delivery of a parcel of wine that we're sure will be popular with you all, especially as we approach the Festive Season. This top end Argentinean Malbec from Zuccardi available in Magnum form. There was only one pallet arriving into our suppliers and we took the lot, 102 Magnum Bottles! Why go Magnum? A magnum of wine (1.5 litres) is the equivalent of two 'standard' bottles of wine, so is the perfect size for entertaining a group, because, let's face it, when has one bottle ever been enough? They also are a statement and talking point on the table and do taste better - with a larger wine to bottle ratio means less surface oxygen, so slower ageing process, allowing more complex flavours to develop. Due to the larger quantity of liquid, magnums are less susceptible to temperature fluctuations which can negatively impact the quality of the wine. Magnums are also custom made and yes, this generally comes with a price tag, but here's the thing... a wine producer won't go to all the effort of having the bottles made, the manufacturing line altered, bigger labels and shipping boxes ordered, if they don't believe in the wine that's going into it! Ever seen a magnum of Barefoot? I rest my (specially made wine) case! |
