Wendouree Cabernet Malbec
Wendouree Cabernet Malbec is based on rare 19th-century vine stock material including malbec plantings from between 1898 and 1960, which provide the wine complexity, interest and a variation of theme. After traditional vinification, maturation takes place in new (20%) and seasoned French oak. This is a profoundly individual wine with intense, bright fruit, underlying maturation notes and firm but pronounced tannins.
About Wendouree
Wendouree, a revered Australian producer, bears rich historical significance. The vineyards, planted in 1893 in Clare Valley, maintain their original essence. Roly Birks steered winemaking for 60 vintages until 1983. Lita and Tony Brady, now seasoned vintners of four decades, acquired the property in 1974. Known for robust fruit intensity, their signature style showcases powerful shiraz and unique blends like shiraz Malbec and cabernet sauvignon.
