Fifty/Fifty Merlot Malbec 2023 (Australia/Argentina)

Description

Mocha, Oak, Vanilla

Aromas of plum, dark berry fruit, vanilla, mocha, and warm toasted oak notes on the nose lead to berry and plum fruit flavors. Juicy in style with smooth tannins.

A lovely blend of South Australian Merlot and Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza.

This expressive blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Malbec brings together richness, vibrant fruit and beautifully balanced structure. Aromas of ripe plum, dark berries, vanilla and mocha are complemented by hints of warm toasted oak. The palate is juicy and generous, revealing layers of berry and plum flavours, supported by soft, silky tannins and a smooth, lingering finish.

Sourced from South Eastern Australia, this Merlot is matured in seasoned French and American oak barrels (3–4 years old), allowing the fruit to retain its natural freshness and character. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, it displays generous dark berry and plum flavours, supported by fine, supple tannins.

Sourced from Mendoza, Argentina, this Malbec benefited from a 25% smaller harvest, resulting in greater fruit concentration and intensity. Matured for three months in French oak, it displays a vibrant red hue with violet reflections. Floral and fruit-driven aromas reveal notes of ripe plum and blueberry, leading to a fresh, generous palate with soft, approachable tannins.
