2021 SINGLE VINEYARD CABERNET MALBEC

The Cabernet is classic Yarra Valley - medium-bodied and elegant, exuding red berry fruits like raspberries and plums and makes up 91% of the blend. The 9% Malbec also shows bright red fruits while adding a savoury, Australian garrigue character and pleasant complexity to the wine. The wine spent 22 days on skins, followed by 14 months in French oak - 30% new - adding support and some texture without overpowering the fruit and freshness.

Review

Gary Walsh, The Winefront, 94 points 

Red fruits, boysenberry, a little dusty spice and tobacco, rosy perfume. Medium-bodied, redcurrant and fresh red fruits, a little hazelnut and dried herb/blonde tobacco, fresh, light fine grained but present tannin, quiet perfume, restrained, long and lively. Brightly lit. Classic feel here, and very good it is too.
