Description

Great Southern Malbec

We are very excited to release our first varietal Malbec, sourced entirely from the MOOMBAKI vineyard. The hand picked fruit was matured for 20 months in fine grained French oak barriques and bottled using minimal filtration. A complex, intense palate of mulberry and plum with soft, velvety tannins combine to create this exceptional wine. ONLY 840 Hand-Numbered Bottles Produced!

Tasting notes from winemaker James Kellie.
