Last night we were delighted to have Floris Lemstra, owner and winemaker of Château Canet, join us for dinner at 63 Degrees in Manchester.

In celebration of Malbec World Day we thought it only decent to offer a 10% discount off all of our Malbecs to allow you to discover both new and old world versions for yourself. Whether you find a new favourite or simply reinforce your love of wines you already know, take the chance to celebrate Malbec in all of its delicious styles!
