Why You'll Love It

This is Australian Malbec from Boutinot Australia's Listening Station range, wines that are quintessentially Australian - consistently high quality, approachable, and full of charm. The Malbec is sourced entirely from an estate vineyard in Swan Hill, Victoria, with 5 hectares planted in 2000. The vines grow on their own roots in red sandy loam with a limestone clay base, producing concentrated fruit thanks to the tough growing conditions. Night harvesting preserves freshness, while fermentation in stainless steel at 25°C with regular pump-overs for three weeks extracts colour and structure. Malolactic fermentation follows, with 50% of the blend aged in French and American oak barriques for three months to add structure and complexity. This is Australian Malbec with chocolatey richness, ripe fruit, and crisp minerality.
