Winemaker's Note: Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy balanced vines. The long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours. Our ‘Homage’ Cabernet Malbec pays tribute to this classic style which has long been produced in the Clare Valley. The fruit is sourced from 2 small blocks planted adjacent to one another in 2008. These varieties are perfect companions, with the Cabernet Sauvignon providing structure and power, and Malbec delivering plushness and blue fruits.Â
