This wine has intense scents of violets, rhubarb and blackberries exploding out of the glass, On the palate there is the unique Satsuma plum with blueberries, dark chocolate, spice and tobacco. The wine is voluptuous and intense, with elegant fine tannins, the hallmark of a Langhorne Creek Malbec.

The classic pairing with Malbec is meat, but make it special. Don’t hold back - inflation is a bitch, but buy the best cut, from the best butcher in the best suburb cooked with fire using the best charcoal. 

The fruit was fermented in a small blue open top fermenter called ‘Blue Tongue Lizard’ allowing maximum extraction of colour and flavour. Partial whole berry fermentation, (mainly because the berries are so small they cannot be crushed) allows for greater complexity. The small batch ferment was kept cooled all through it’s ferment and then left on skins for several days prior to oak. The wine was matured in old Hungarian barriques for 9 months prior to bottling. No additives are used in its production except minimal sulphur dioxide.

This wine is enjoyable now, but has the structure to flower into a classic
over the next 4 to 6 years.
