The Santa Julia Del Mercado Malbec is a combination of fresh and ripe fruit, with good structure and complexity. This wine has lovely black fruit aromas with some spices. A great example of a Malbec from Uco Valley.

Malbec has a long history in the Clare Valley where it has been grown for many decades, however always in relatively small quantities due to being a very temperamental and challenging variety in the vineyards. It is a variety very close to our hearts, as Mr. Mick was one of the pioneers in the district using it in his wines and introduced Tim to it in the early ’70s with his signature blend Cabernet-Malbec. It has been playing a key role in many of our wines as a blending component and we decided it was time to give it the central stage with its own label and on a classic Mr. Mick style.Winemaking Notes. Grapes from mature Malbec vines were picked at the right ripeness level, destemmed and fermented on skins for two weeks with a very gentle extraction regime to maximize colour and fruit expression while limiting the uptake of harsh tannins.The resulting wine was aged with selected French oak for 10 months before bottling in May 2025. Growing Conditions. The 2024 Malbec builds on the successful debut of last year’s first release and brings another level of finesse and sophistication, without compromising the richness and the varietal characters. With a bright ruby colour, the wine shows fresh blackberry, satsuma plum, pomegranate and the variety’s signature floral lift of violet flowers and rose petals. The palate is dense, yet smooth and complemented by subtle French oak spicy notes.

The fruit for this impressive malbec is picked from young vines grown at altitude in Mendoza. The altitude contributes to the vitality of this generously flavoured red. There is good integration of oak whilst the wine remains focused on a fresh fruit profile on the palate, and is complemented stylishly by violet aromatics.

De Iuliis (De - uli - iss) wines are known for their trademark regionality and commitment to showcasing the very best the Hunter Valley has to offer. Their Shiraz is a fine balance between power and subtlety. Spice driven aromas with mild hints of the berry fruit to come on the palate. Blackberry, raspberry and dark cherry come to the fore and are in harmony with the round, soft tannins.

A traditional red grape variety from Bordeaux in France, Malbec is increasingly being grown in Australia. The grape is renowned for its deep colour, generous fruit expression and full flavour. Margaret River wine region offers great growing conditions for the variety. Malbec wines from this region show great depth and beautifully reflect the character of the grape. This is not surprising considering Margaret River and Bordeaux experience similar climatic conditions.

This new release from Little Giant is an absolute cracker! Sourced from dry grown vineyards across South Australia, this is a classic looking Malbec with a deep crimson colour in the glass. Dark berry aromas are complemented by floral hints and a subtle sweet tobacco influence that is so typical of this varietal. The palate is bursting with juicy black fruits, a touch of oak and a soft easy-going tannin structure making it a perfect match for any kind of barbecued meats. At 14% abv, this stunning Malbec is terrific to drink now, but will cellar extremely well and soften over the next 2 - 6 years.

This superb Malbec is deep purple, with powerful aromas of red berries and floral notes. Flavours of plum and sweet blackberry. Finish of ripe, balanced tannins.

6ft6 Shiraz is a rich, succulent and savoury style of Shiraz. More about finesse and complextity than potency, this red reflects the Moorabool Valley's ability to produce a more refined style than most warmer regions. Unless you have more will power than most, enjoy this Geelong red while young and fresh.
