🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to dark crimson in the glass with vibrant purple highlights, showing excellent colour depth and concentration typical of Margaret River Malbec.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Expressive aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry and blackberry rise from the glass. Floral notes, aniseed and crushed leaf add aromatic lift, with hints of chocolate and spice bringing extra complexity.
👅 Palate
Medium-bodied and richly flavoured with juicy plum and dark berry fruit at the core. Layers of chocolate, spice and savoury herbal characters develop across the palate, giving the wine depth and character.
⚖️ Structure
Fine-grained tannins provide structure while maintaining a smooth, plush mouthfeel. The wine shows a savoury edge and balanced acidity, adding freshness and complexity.
🔚 Finish
Long and even with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and dried herb notes. The finish is fresh and well balanced with a subtle savoury grip.
🍇 Overall Style
A characterful Margaret River Malbec—rich yet refined with dark fruit intensity, savoury complexity and fine tannins. The wine was rated 93 points by Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) and praised for its balance and texture.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled steak, lamb cutlets, slow-braised beef, char-grilled mushrooms or hearty Mediterranean dishes.
Cheers
