Red by Caroline Dunn Malbec 2019
About the wine
Medium-bodied, soft red fruits, savoury spice notes, and a long, dry finish.
Gentle handling during fermentation on skins in small, open fermenters has allowed for optimum extraction of flavour and fine balanced tannins.
The wine was matured in seasoned, spicy French oak for 15 months to soften and develop richness and complexity without picking up dominant oak flavour. Delightfully evocative of its Barossa roots with complex aromas of black cherry, pomegranate, cranberry and violet, with hints of wild herbs, juniper and savoury spice.
A uniquely Australian red. Such an interesting and different variety with a savoury twist and a dry finish that’s a great match with gnocchi with mushrooms and blue cheese or grilled lamb cutlets. Yummo!
Best before
With careful short to medium-term ageing this wine will develop further subtle complexity.
Serving advice
While not essential to this wine’s enjoyment, allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes before drinking will more fully express its natural character. Serve at room temperature, or in warm weather allow to chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
Food match
Pork and fennel sausages, grilled lamb cutlets with roasted beetroot, gnocchi with mushrooms and blue cheese.
