Red Rooster Carbonic Merlot Malbec (750ml)
Product Overview
Red Rooster Carbonic Merlot Malbec is an innovative, small-lot red blend from the heart of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Crafted under the forward-thinking direction of winemaker Elaine Vickers, this BC VQA wine showcases a playful, adventurous approach to traditional Bordeaux varietals. By applying carbonic maceration to the blend, the winery coaxes out an exceptionally fresh, high-toned, and fruit-forward profile that strips away harsh, astringent wood tannins while preserving an incredibly juicy and vibrant character.
The Craftsmanship


  • Innovative Carbonic Co-Fermentation: Whole-cluster Malbec grapes are placed at the bottom of the tank to undergo native carbonic fermentation (fermenting anaerobically from the inside of the grape out). Lightly crushed Merlot is layered gently on top to shield the Malbec from the air, creating a dual-style fermentation environment.
  • Thoughtful Cap Management: Punch downs are meticulously handled on the top Merlot layer only, leaving the delicate whole-cluster Malbec completely undisturbed at the bottom until pressing.
  • Balanced Oak Finishes: Following fermentation, the wine is pressed and aged for 10 months in 100% French oak barrels (13% new) to introduce a touch of structured complexity without masking the bright fruit profile.
  • Extra-Dry Precision: Finished with an exceptionally low residual sugar level of just 1.2 g/L, maintaining a crisp, refreshing, and food-friendly structural balance.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A complex and ever-changing bouquet. Vibrant notes of black cherry, wild strawberry, and dark plum are supported by undertones of sweet baking spices, vanilla bean, cedar, and a subtle hint of new leather.
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied, yet remarkably juicy and fresh. Layers of ripe red berries, espresso bean, and dark chocolate flow across a smooth palate defined by soft, dusty tannins and a refreshing hit of natural acidity.
  • Finish: Extra-dry, clean, and satisfyingly structured. It leaves a trailing impression of wild blackberry, black tea leaf, and subtle, spicy French oak.
