Description How does a Merlot become a Malbec? Well, when winemaker Steve Grimley first started making this wine, he and the grower thought the grapes were Merlot. But when they looked at the not-very-Merlot-like juice samples mid-ferment, they realised they needed to call in an ampelographer. Definitely not a Merlot! It was Malbec, and thus their special Malbec project was born. These days, Steve sources the fruit from the Lopresti vineyard, one of his favourites, which produces wines with alluring warmed fruits and a generous palate. Look forward to musk, strawberry jam and raisin toast aromas on a lavishly generous palate.
