2024 Malbec, Rutherglen, Victoria
Grown at the Quartz Vein vineyard in Wahgunyah, our 2023 Malbec was partially fermented in open vats and aged 15 months in barrel before bottling in early 2022. Aromas of dark berries, plum, blueberry, and cherry lead to a medium-bodied palate rich with dark fruit flavors, fine grainy tannins, subtle florals, earthy nuances, and a discreet touch of oak, creating a powerful yet balanced expression of Rutherglen Malbec.
