Details
Certified organic, vegan, and seriously full of swagger - this inky purple beauty brings big, juicy energy. It’s bursting with ripe black plums, blackberries, and blueberries, all wrapped up in violet florals, sweet spice, and a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are silky smooth with bright acidity to keep it fresh, and a lush vanilla thread running through bringing pure blackberry pie realness. Bold, jammy, and straight-up delicious - this Malbec's an absolute banger!

Let us introduce La Riojana - Argentina’s ultimate co-op cool kids. These legends have been crafting wine with soul since the 1940s, and now roll with over 500 small-scale growers, many of whom are second, third, even fourth-gen grape whisperers. It’s all about community, shared roots, and a real passion for making wine that speaks to the land. They were also way ahead of the curve - La Riojana was the first Fairtrade-certified winery in Argentina back in 2006, and they've been doing good while making great wine ever since. Fast-forward to today and they’re now one of the biggest names in Fairtrade wine globally, having invested millions back into their people and local communities. But they don’t stop there - La Riojana is also a sustainability powerhouse, with organic certification since 2000 and a full-on commitment to farming that looks after the soil, the environment, and future generations. So yeah, when you crack open a bottle from these guys, you’re not just getting a great glass - you’re tasting something built on tradition, fairness, and a whole lot of heart.

Pairing guide
La Pausa Malbec is the kind of bottle that knows how to turn a good meal into a great one. It’s rich, deeply fruited, and packed with smooth, velvety vibes that just work with anything hearty. Pour it with your homemade burgers - beef, lamb, pork, veggie, you name it - especially if you’ve got some crunchy slaw or a punchy relish in the mix. It’s also a dream with dark poultry, slow-cooked meats in rich sauces, or even a proper cottage pie on a chilly evening. Feeling a bit cheffy? Throw some grilled Mediterranean veg or game on the plate and let this Malbec do its thing. Big flavour, easy charm - this is one for the food lovers.
