West Cape Howe Malbec

All this fruit is from our Russell Road vineyard in the super reliable Frankland River region. The 2021 vintage was excellent with no untoward weather events, just the way we like it! With its consistent weather pattern of warm days and cool nights the fruit could ripen fully and develop excellent flavour with no disease risk etc. Traditional winemaking with regular pumpovers during fermentation has ensured maximum colour and flavour extraction. Then, with maturation in French oak barriques for 17 months plus 12 months in bottle, the result is this well balanced and well-integrated wine.
