McGuigan Black Label Malbec 2022 (Australia)

Description

Chocolate, Plum, Spice

Our Black Label Malbec is an elegant and soft wine, with spiced fruit characters, generous weight and good length of flavour. Deep cherry red in colour, layers of chocolate, plum and blueberries combine producing a lingering sweet finish.

The fruit was machine harvested and selected from vineyards in South Eastern Asutralia. Conditions for vintage were ideal, yields were good and the fruit was in excellent condition. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Long sunshine hours ensure fruit ripens fully and low relative humidity results in little incidence of disease.

This approachable wine derives from fruit sourced from our various dry and irrigated vineyards was harvested at night. The grapes were fermented at a cooler temperature for a period of seven days. Post fermentation, the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks before being blended, stabilisied and clarified.
