A joyful and immediately satisfying Malbec/Merlot blend, this is the juiciest of La Calmette’s wines. Immediate and enticing, bursting with ripe red fruits and spice underpinned with a satisfying edge of graphite and intense minerality.

2023 was an exceptional vintage for Maya and Nicholas, the resulting wine is beautifully silky and ripe.

In a region otherwise known for muscular, tannic, over-baked reds, ‘Serpent A Plumes’ goes against the grain, showing Malbec’s brighter, lighter side without compromising on substance and depth of flavour.

Made with a blend Malbec and Merlot, a small portion of the grapes are left whole bunch while the rest are de-stemmed. The grapes are co-fermented in concrete, and undergo a gentle maceration for one week to maintain fine tannins whilst keeping Malbec's signature inky colour.

Gentle and considered winemaking ensures the wine happily balances between depth of flavour and freshness.
