2003 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec 750ml

The 2003 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec is a distinctive blend from one of Australia’s most revered heritage wineries. Sourced from dry-grown, low-yielding vines planted in the Clare Valley, this wine combines Wendouree’s hallmark intensity with vintage-specific elegance. The blend features a significant portion of Cabernet Sauvignon balanced by Malbec, offering a robust yet finely structured expression. The nose is deeply aromatic, showing blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, dried herbs, tobacco leaf, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, firm tannins frame flavours of cassis, plum, and savoury earth, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and gentle oak integration. The texture is muscular yet harmonious, carrying the wine to a long, dry finish. This 2003 release reflects the low-yield vintage’s concentration and depth, while still delivering grace and complexity. A cellar-worthy Clare Valley classic that continues to age with dignity.
