In the Media: 'Australia's Best Malbec' - Young Gun of Wines
Lange and Hawker both chose this wine in their top six from the blind tasting. Lange found another vibrant and lifted wine with an explosion of concentrated fruits on the nose. “Attractive aromas of mulberry, boysenberry and redcurrant preserve spring from the glass with an herbaceous floral note of wild heather,” she described. “Charred meats, bone broth and rosemary blossom give an inviting savoury edge bringing up thoughts of a juicy steak on the bone. The body is supple with refreshing acidity and a superfine, delicate tannin structure. Fruits and sappy herbs are in perfect balance on the palate, giving an overall pleasant drinking experience.” Hawker noted beautiful deep, dark magenta colour with perfume of chamomile and baking spices over dark black berry and white chocolate. “Plush and vibrant in its youthfulness,” he observed. “The tannin gives a great velvety structure coating the ripe plum and blackberry jam fruit. Not overdone, just fresh and energetic.”
