2016 Wendouree Malbec 750ml

The 2016 Wendouree Malbec is a remarkable example of Clare Valley’s historic vineyards at their finest. Sourced from century old dry grown vines, this rare varietal showcases the depth and character that has made Wendouree one of Australia’s most iconic producers. The nose is lifted and expressive with aromas of blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry, layered with hints of violet, spice and earthy mineral notes. The palate is powerful and concentrated yet retains elegance, offering rich dark fruit, cocoa and subtle savoury tones wrapped in fine grained tannins. The structure is impressive, combining intensity with finesse, and finishing long and persistent. Serving and Cellaring Outstanding now with careful decanting, this wine will continue to develop gracefully over the next three decades. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses.
