Description

Experience the essence of artisanal winemaking in every sip of our meticulously crafted Cabernet-Malbec blend. Hand-harvested with utmost care, our Cabernet grapes undergo a meticulous berry sorting process, while our Malbec grapes are delicately bunch sorted. The Cabernet, after meticulous sorting, is gently destemmed and crushed into half-tonne open fermenters, with a touch of whole bunch fermentation to elevate its aroma and fragrance. Meanwhile, our Malbec, treated with equal reverence, undergoes destemming before being hand-plunged twice daily in small fermenters.

Aged to perfection in French Bordeaux shaped barrels, with just a kiss of new oak (15%), our wine boasts a lusciously juicy fruit palate that promises immediate enjoyment. The blending process, an artistry in itself, culminates in a harmonious marriage of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Malbec, sourced from the esteemed Agincourt block nestled in the picturesque Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia.

This wine, a recipient of multiple accolades, embodies excellence from vine to bottle. Crafted to be approachable in its youth, it also holds the promise of further evolution over the next five years or more, provided it's given the right cellaring conditions. With its inviting aromatics and accessible fruit palate, each sip is an invitation to savor the extraordinary. Indulge in the remarkable journey of flavors, where every drop tells a story of passion and mastery.

Palate
On the palate, this wine is a dance of flavors. Bright fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by the energetic crunch brought by the Malbec. Clove spices add depth, while vibrant acidity balances the elegant fruit drive, culminating in a wine of wonderful fruit purity.
