2018 Heartland First Release Malbec
Our Malbec is the first classic wine we release from every vintage, often up to 2 years before the rest of our range. This helps to showcase the freshness and primary fruit flavours that make this variety so enjoyable.
Tasting Notes:
Again, only a small quantity of this wine was produced, just six barrels in fact. The result is a wine with a deep ruby core and a vibrant purple rim. The aromas are of violets and freshly crushed red currants and blueberries. Rich, dense and elegant, loaded with both red and purple fruits, this vintage offers a silky mouthful of red wine. Just like its two predecessors, the2017 vintage has a long and gratifying finish.
Vinification:
One row of vines was isolated from our estate vines in Langhorne Creek. Only French oak was used to allow the Malbec fruit to have its full expression. Extended maceration helped to accentuate the depth of colour and aroma.
