Lot of blue fruit, cassis, hot stones, mocha, pine and some orange peel on the nose. Full-bodied with a creamy, melting tannin texture. Plush and ripe. Yet, it remains agile. Mineral at the end. Drink or hold. James Suckling 94 Points

Ripe plum, dark cherry, blackcurrant, tart raspberry. That fruit is wrapped in a savoury pouch of leather, cedar, capsicum, blackcurrant leaf, and dried tobacco.

We sought out a parcel of shiraz with smaller berries and bunches which could accompany the rich intensity of Malbec. The Shiraz was destemmed and fermented on skins for 12 days. The Malbec was fermented separately and also destemmed and fermented on skins for around 12 days. Natural yeasts, no whole bunch. The resultant wine has the distinctive purple colour from the Malbec, as well it’s plum and mulberry aromas. The shiraz provides some lifted berry fruits and some roundness on the palate. The wine has some weight and some firm fine tannins.
