MCHENRY HOHNEN Rolling Stone Cabernet Malbec Petit Verdot, Margaret River

A single vineyard site at 3500 metres in Agrelo Mendoza has produced a vivid 100% malbec displaying intense violet aromas over a core of red fruits with notes of cherries and raspberries . The wine shows excellent balance a fine backbone of fresh acidity and supple and elegant tannins from 14 months maturation in French oak barrels.

Mmm Malbec. This delicious, dark-fruited, smoky gem is a natural match with barbecued fare. (And we all know that both Australia and South America do amazing barbecues!) Taste examples from Australia, Argentina and Chile here and see why this wonderful grape is SO popular.

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Among many major awards, they’ve won the Jimmy Watson Trophy.

Mevi's Barricas del Plata draws on its 100% Malbec, sourced from Maipu in Mendoza Argentina. Grapes are harvested and fermented with tradition. Berry and dark chocolate nose, 13% ABV wine has a supple, ripe red fruity palate.

Deep, dark and brooding. Loads of rich ripe dark berries and spicy oak. Incredible weight in the mouth, coats every part of the tongue. Amazing length of flavour. This is a delicious Malbec at the peak of its powers.
