Description

This Agincourt shows classic Cabernet notes of cassis and dark fruits and berries, along with a characteristic leafy herbaceousness. The Malbec gives the wine a plummy, dark cherry roundness, and, of course, more tannin.

The fruit for this Cabernet Malbec was sourced from Yarra Yering’s Agincourt block in the most easterly and sheltered part of their vineyard–Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1995 and Malbec planted in 1990.

Hand-picked, crushed and destemmed into open-top fermenters. The cap is managed twice daily with extra time on skins that softens the tannins. Basket pressed prior to MLF (malolactic fermentation) in seasoned French (Bordeaux) barrels and allowed to mature for 18 months.

Review

Perfume is the signature of this wine with lifted bramble and redcurrant fruits. Bright fruit flavours include cranberry, mulberries, and blueberries. Fresh nettle presents a leafy lift and many tannins and clove spices dance with vibrant acidity and an elegant fruit drive. The Malbec brings energy and a bright crunch to the wine. The aromatics and accessible fruit palate make this a deliciously approachable Cabernet blend.

Could this be any more aromatic, with its perfect mix of florals, fruit, and spice? The savouriness of (30%) malbec comes through as a mere accompaniment to the heady cabernet. Oak remains in the background, tannins are perfectly judged and acidity is bright. It promises to delight now and for some years hence.” – Jane Faulkner, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion.
