Description

Esk Valley Artisanal wines tell the story of the Old-World craft and our New World terroir. And certainly, the legendary skills and passion of winemaker Gordon Russell are wrapped up in this exciting Double Gold & Double 5 Star, 2021 Malbec Cabernet Merlot blend. From the deep stony soils of the Gimblett Gravels, the three parcels were separately fermented in open top concrete fermenters with traditional hand plunging. After further maceration on skins, they were pressed to 225l French Barriques (Judicious 20% new) for 18-months. Then the final blend was made before bottling… and what a blend it is. This powerhouse Kiwi Red Bargain will live for 10-years… but is so in harmony you can open tonight. Whenever you drink it – your expectations will be well exceeded.

Smells

Heady aromas of dark plums, black currants, cedar, fresh tobacco leaves, graphite, lifted pepper notes and an exotic array of dark spices.

Tastes

Plush black fruit welcomes the tastes buds with smooth, mouth coating tannins hugging your cheeks. The generous palate is balanced by juicy acidity lifting the warm, rich flavours to a long. moreishly fresh finish. Excellent drinking now and through 2025-2030, perfect with all your favourite BBQ meats and aged cheddar.
