THE STORY
The impressively beautiful and concentrated Wendouree Shiraz Malbec is an authentic Clare Valley style harking back to late 19th-century winemaking traditions. Vinified in open stainless steel lined fermenters and matured for 12 months in new (20%) and seasoned French oak, it is typified by voluminous blackberry, plum and mulberry fruit, a touch of eucalypt, fine, rusty and persistent tannins, and plenty of lasting power.
