Deep Maroon with purple-magenta hues.
Rich, brooding blue-fruited aromatics, hints of dark chocolate and ground spices with an earthy richness on the nose. On the palate, super vibrant with a sweet fruit mid-palate and quite masculine, with big smooth tannins. The richness and earthiness of the Malbec shine through on the finish.
Fruit was selectively machine harvested and cold soaked for 7 days prior to fermentation. The individual parcel was fermented in a small open top fermenter and hand pigeaged twice daily. Pressed at dryness and aged for 14 months in French oak barriques (30% new). Minimally fined and filtered prior to bottling.
Pair with Argentinian Asado smoked beef ribs with roasted root vegetables
Limited and exclusive. This wine has a cellaring potential of 10-15 years. 900 Bottles Made.
94 Points – “Inky, briary and intense, this is a cracking wine stuffed full of high-quality juicy fruit, complemented by gentle savoury notes that add depth and complexity. Not overly dense or cloying, and is all the better for it, allowing the fruit to sit front and centre under the spotlight. Just so delicious, no aging required! If you see this on a wine-list, I recommend you try it.” – Barry Weinman, Fine Wine Club
Description
About Plantagenet Wines
Plantagenet’s vineyard estate has been carved out of the regions distinctive Marri Soils named after the massive native Marri, or Red Gum trees that grow here. The soils are ironstone gravelly sandy loams over a base of clay or ironstone rock. The vineyard block sites were selected where good water drainage allows control over vine vigour, one of the most important determinants of fruit quality.
Irrigation is used infrequently and only to supplement natural rainfall events forcing the vine roots deep into the subsoil and building natural resilience within the vine. The combination of soils, landforms and climate – or terroir – creates wines of rare distinction and quality.
High quality blocks from these vineyards are well known to the winemaking team and special care and attention is given throughout the growing season to those that historically make the “Wyjup Collection” and Plantagenet Estate wines.
Plantagenet is a pioneer of the Great Southern region of Western Australia with vineyards first planted in 1968 and the first commercial winery established in the region in 1975.
Celebrated for its rich heritage the winery is owned by vignerons Tom & Jo Wisdom. Tom Wisdom is a descendent of Lionel Samson, who established the 2nd oldest family business in Australia, Lionel Samson & Son, who owned Plantagenet Wines between 1992 and 2021 before it changed hands to the current ownership.
Plantagenet has three estate vineyards in the Mount Barker sub region each with unique characteristics, ancient soils and a cool maritime climate creating expressive wines of provenance, quality and prestige.
A consistent Five Star winery rating in the Halliday Wine Companion.
