Malbec 2017 Limited Release
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Vibrant mid red. Lift of pretty bramble with hints of cherry and herbs. There is just a touch of forest floor and some vanillan creamy notes sneaking in from oak.
Wine Making
Our Malbec was able to achieve full ripeness on the vine, uninhibited by rain or disease, so our resultant wine is full bodied for the style with plenty of tannin and flavor to balance. Fermentation in stainless with aging in seasoned oak.
Cellaring
Our 2017 Malbec is vibrant and fresh and is eminently drinkable in its youth. However our history with this unique varietal suggests up to ten years in the cellar will not go unrewarded. Enjoy with crispy skinned roast duck or BBQ lamb cutlets.

Palate:
The palate is lifted with sweet, ripe red berry fruit and notes of spice lifting the full fruit on the palate, with some more rustic and earthy notes behind. The fine tannin profile sits in check alongside the fruit in this youthful Malbec.
