The 2006 Wendouree Cabernet Malbec is a striking example of Clare Valley’s old-vine intensity and Wendouree’s signature restraint and longevity. Sourced from heritage dry-grown vines, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec offers a seamless union of power and finesse.
Aromatically complex, it reveals layers of blackcurrant, cassis, violet, cedar, dried herbs, and graphite, backed by earthy undertones and restrained oak influence. The palate is structured yet refined, with dense dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a firm acid backbone. There’s an underlying minerality that carries through to a long, savoury finish.
Built to age with grace, the 2006 vintage continues to evolve, offering remarkable depth, balance, and expression of site and vintage.
