- This truly is a special ‘Reserve’ wine. Premium fruit was sourced from a premium zone—Altamira—from two special plots singled out by winemakers as making superb wine over the years with only tight clusters of the best malbec selected for fermentation in a newly built state-of-the-art small winery on the vineyard. It then matured beautifully, 24 months in French and American oak barrel.

This showcases complexity, succulent flavour, persistent purity of fruit, well-integrated oak, deft balance and satin-smooth texture throughout. Piquant spice aromas mingle with dark berry fruit and pencil shavings on the nose of this full-bodied, full-fruited malbec. It coats the palate with flavours of spice-laden, ripe dark Bing cherry, black currant and juicy tang. It finishes in a blaze of red crunchy fruit—currant and cherry—deftly balanced with the dark fruit of palate replays. (Vic Harradine)
