Gold Medal – New Zealand International Wine Show 2023.

An Aussie Malbec that has a very 'Q' uality feel for the money.

"Bright intense red with purple hues. Blueberries, also classic Malbec mulberry, red cherries and notes of cedar; cocoa and wafts of violets. At first this Malbec is Intense, juicy and super youthful "grapeiness" again lots of blueberries. Almost overwhelming. The Middle Palate is generous and quite sensual it is structured despite the lashings of fresh fruit Really rich and lush. The after palate is flavoursome, rich sweet berry fruits and Damson plum is on top of rolling red fruits and Blueberry pie! The finish is lush and mouth filling with a glycerol sweetness balanced by gentle tannins and a soft fresh acidity. Along with barbecues, Malbec's team a treat with bold summery dishes. As they're by no means shrinking violets in the flavour department, a chilled bottle will go beautifully with beef fajitas or big-flavoured salads. Drink now until 2031." Winery notes  

"Deeply coloured and youthful with a purple rim evident. Sweet berry aromas sit alongside toasty oak, spice and game aromas. The palate is plump and succulent with the juicy midpalate typical of malbec that gives vibrancy and enhances enjoyment." 4 ½ Stars & Best Buy Cuisine NZ Bordeaux Style Red, June 2024.
