Tom Cullity Margaret River Cabernet Malbec

All blocks were destemmed only without crushing. Natural Ferment. The Petit Verdot, Malbec and 54% Cabernet Sauvignon (making up 54%) open fermented, hand plunged & pressed dry. The remaining 46% of the Cabernet & Malbec were static fermented, gently pumped over through a splash tub. Left on skins for up to 34 days. The small sections were basket pressed to fine French oak and matured for only 16 months.

A complex nose of light red-berry jam notes with hints sage, teak, shortbread, peanut &blood orange. A very light yet plush palate with plummy notes, subtle teak, black tea & hints of clove. Fresh tangy length & fine but strong, powdery tannin finish.
