Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec 2023
, Malbec Established in 1969, Yarra Yering is recognised as one of Australia’s most iconic vineyards. From 29 hectares of dry-grown vines in the Yarra Valley, we produce wines renowned for their signature structure, understated power, and enduring longevity.
Hand harvested; the Cabernet is destemmed, berry sorted, then crushed into half-tonne open fermenters. A small amount (5%) was whole bunch fermented for extra lift and perfume. Malbec is destemmed into small fermenters and hand plunged twice daily. Maturation in French Bordeaux-shaped barrels, 10% new oak to enhance the juicy fruit palate and immediate enjoyment.
Crafted to be approachable when young, yet will evolve for 5+ years under suitable cellaring. The aromatics and accessible fruit palate make for a deliciously approachable Cabernet blend.
Perfumed with lifted violets, mulberry and raspberry leaf. A refreshing berry fruit profile melts into and complements the savoury characters.
Nettle with its earthiness and a cool leafy lift enhance the savoury clove spice element. The vibrant acidity, a result of the Malbec component, brings an acid crunch to the wine. A wine of wonderful fruit purity, savoury texture with some mocha warmth.
