NEW RELEASE Footprint Wine Tap - Malbec 'mmmMalbec' 2024
Ken Dillon, Owner & Winemaker of Footprint Wine Tap, is proud to introduce our limited production inaugural Malbec ‘mmmMalbec’ made with 100% single vineyard and Certified LIVE & Salmon Safe grapes sourced from Equus Vineyard, Columbia Valley, and with low intervention winemaking techniques, native yeasts, no fining/filtration and minimal sulfur addition.
Our mmmMalbec is perfect to enjoy as is, with family and friends, or pair with a range of foods, year-round. This red reflects the ‘24 vintage, starting the year off with an extreme cold snap, but the grape vine resiliency shown through a normal and high-quality harvest. The ’24 vintage and Ken’s winemaking leaned more into letting the grapes do even more talking, allowing the wine to go to its limits in aging vessels a bit more, and yielding a more casual and gentle approach to our wine’s potential. That led us to some fun, complex yet easy drinking, and tasty wines. This wine is ready to be enjoyed now and will also age well for the next several years.
