2024 Blackwater - Cabernet Shiraz Malbec

Colour Vibrant rich red with black tints.

Nose Intriguing aromas of black plum, mulberry, sour cherry and mint. Complexing notes of cedar and five spice.

Palate Structural yet juicy, this wine is bright and refreshing. Plum, cherry, bramble fruits lead into the structure and complexity of oak, exotic spice and ferrous tannins.

Components were matured in French oak barriques for 15-months prior to blending. The final blend saw 15% new oak, with the balance in seasoned barrels. The blend spent a month in tank to integrate and harmonise prior to bottling.
