Caravan buyer note
100% Malbec from the Verhaeghe family's purchased fruit grown on the first and second terraces close to the Lot River, farmed organically without certification — the estate banned pesticides over two decades ago. Fully destemmed and crushed with a 3-4 day cold soak to extract colour and gentle tannin, then pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel before maturing in concrete tanks for 6-8 months — no oak. The result shows the soft, juicy side of Malbec: bright red cherry and plum fruit, soft tannins and sprightly, refreshing acidity. Vibrant, youthful and versatile — a transparent, charming interpretation of Southwest French Malbec, distinctly fresher than its Argentine counterpart.

Before you open it.
A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.
How should I store it before opening?
Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.
How long will it keep once opened?
Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.
Can I ask for a similar bottle?
Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.
How is it packed for delivery?
Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.
What about hot weather shipping?
The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.
