Ample, sturdy, and thick-skinned – just like the wombat – the Malbec grape is the little giant of the wine world. Making typically dense and structured wines. Malbec is often considered the backbone of many great wine blends. This single expression of Malbec is classically rich in dark, berry and plum fruit with subtle floral and spice flavours.

deep, dark, brooding aromas of blackberries, blueberries, rosehip, coffee, and spice and with a slight lift of mint.

dark colour, reminiscent of the black wines of Cahors, renowned for their Malbec dominant blends. Plush fruit initially gives way to robust, chalky, and somewhat drying tannins that cling and barely let go. Dense, compact, chunky, and forceful – just like the wombat and decanting an hour to serving will allow the fruit to shine. Dark berry fruits with cassis, mulberry and sandalwood flavours run strong with an undertone of No. 8 dark chocolate, mint biscuits. Almost a meal in the glass. Serve with hearty stews and meat dishes.
