This is a dark purple-black monster. Fruits of the forest aromas are aplenty, with some hints of liquorice and spice. These aromas carry on to the palate, with cherries, berries and plums all apparent. Hints of dark chocolate and oak are supported by fine tannins, making this an excellent drinking experience.
The culmination of Dr John Possingham and Carol Summers rehabilitation of a 70 year old Blewitt Springs Vineyard in the Mclaren Vale region of South Australia. Full of lifted, ripe fruit notes and then dense, chewy fruits upon drinking. Loaded with fruit and finishes with silky smooth tannins. This will be an ideal easy go-to wine for everyone either now or with a few years behind it.

From the Winery: John and Carol’s vision of restoring a 70 year old Blewitt Springs vineyard to its former glory began in 1984. Since then the Estate has grown to include a state-of-the-art winery, allowing full control from harvest to bottling. A hands-on approach and minimal intervention allows the varietal flavours achieved in the vineyard to carry through to the bottle. The Estate Range proudly bears the family name. Grown on our Estate Vineyard this Malbec shows intense aromas of violets, spice and perfume. The palate delivers lashings of dark cherries and chocolate with superb balance resulting in a long dry finish.
