The 1999 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec is a rare and sought-after release from one of Clare Valley’s most revered producers. Crafted from old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, this wine exemplifies Wendouree’s signature intensity, structure, and age-worthiness.
Now with over two decades of careful cellaring, it reveals an evolved bouquet of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and graphite, layered with dried herbs, leather, and earthy spice. The palate is powerful yet refined, showing firm tannins that have softened with age, delivering savoury depth, dark fruit richness, and remarkable length. A true collector’s piece that reflects both vintage character and Wendouree’s legendary craftsmanship.
Serving & Cellaring:
Perfect with roasted lamb, venison, or mature hard cheeses. Fully mature but still structured, offering immense drinking pleasure now and over the short term.
