2021 Clare Valley Malbec

Winemakers Notes

The 2021 Malbec showcases vibrant varietal aromas of dark plum and raspberry with a dose of fresh cherry. Generous, yet delicate tannins provide the wine with body, enhanced with subtle oak. Fruit is complimented with sweet cinnamon and spice characters, framing the wine for a long finish.

Vintage Conditions

Some good rain events toward the end of winter and into the start of spring provided a good start to the growing season, with soil profiles observed at maximum moisture levels still at the start of November. Vines put on good strong early growth, with the emergence of inflorescence providing an insight of the potential yields to come.

Vineyard

Malbec has a long growing history in Clare Valley. Used extensively in blends, as well as exceptional single varietal expressions. Fruit is grown on our Yertabulti and Provis vineyards, situated at the northern end of the Clare Valley.
