Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec 2024
Cabernet Sauvignon was first planted in the Agincourt block in 1995 and blended with Malbec planted in 1990. Today, the blend evolution includes modern Cabernet clones 412 and WA Cape. We have also begun to explore additional Malbec clones
Hand harvested; the Cabernet is destemmed, berry sorted, then crushed into half-tonne open fermenters. A small amount (5%) was whole bunch fermented for extra lift and perfume. Malbec is destemmed into small fermenters and hand plunged twice daily. Maturation in French Bordeaux-shaped barrels, 10% new oak to enhance the juicy fruit palate and immediate enjoyment.

Fragrant with purple violets and fresh raspberry leaf. A refreshing berry fruit profile melts into and complements the savoury characters. Nettle with its earthiness and a cool leafy lift enhance the savoury clove spice element

Vibrant acidity, a result of the Malbec component, brings an acid crunch to the wine. A wine of wonderful fruit purity, savoury texture and graceful fine tannins.
