Wine

Wendouree Shiraz Malbec is from the winery's historic Clare Valley vineyards. Dry grown in red brown loam soils over shale and limestone, the vines produce low yields of exceptional fruit.

The grapes are handpicked from vines planted in 1919 and 1920, respectively, in the Eastern Vineyard. It is a Shiraz dominant blend, typically one quarter Malbec.

Fermentation occurs in open stainless steel tanks ensuring a controlled environment for malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured in predominantly seasoned French oak for 12 months.

Purple red, Wendouree Shiraz Malbec is elegant with sweet red and black fruit flavours, hints of spice, smooth tannins and refined acidity. Cellaring potential is 20 years.
