Malbec 2016

This Malbec is full of intense dark fruit characters, a hint of plum stone and spicy notes of black pepper create a wine that is full to medium-bodied with a smooth finish.

More Information
Region Clare Valley
Colour At release, the wine is a deep, dark red with purple hues.
Nose There are lifted dark berry and raspberry aromas along with subtle spice, black pepper and mocha overtones from the oak maturation.
Palate This is a lush, mouth filling wine with intense black cherry, plum, raspberry and some earthy undertones. The oak maturation brings attractive spice and mocha characters to the palate. The wine is medium to full-bodied with great balance, well integrated oak and the finish is persistent and imminently enjoyable.
Oak Maturation American oak was employed for its ability to deliver robust characters. After maturing in oak for a period of 10 months, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled.
Cellaring Notes Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions.
