Malbec is rarely seen as a varietal wine but here at Bleasdale and in Langhorne Creek it stands on its own two feet and performs well enough to earn its stripes. This wine shows vibrant primary fruit flavours of plums, red berries and pepper spice. Finishing soft and round with velvety smooth tannins.Matured 9 months new (10%) and seasoned French oak hogsheads and puncheons.

This has loads of appeal from the first sip to the last drop all thanks to its succulent, plummy fruit, its mixed aromas of Szechwan pepper, licorice and metal filings, plus the general ease of it across the palate. It's more medium-bodied with plush tannins and, while primary fruit leads, it dips into savoury territory.
