  3. Bleasdale Vineyards Second Innings Malbec 2022
    Bleasdale Vineyards Second Innings Malbec 2022
    Luscious fruit comes layered with sheets of both dry spice and far-reaching tannin. If this was double the asking price, it would still be worth buying. It's shot with plum, rust, clove and mint characters, a kaleidoscope of spice notes sprinkled over the finish. It's a beautiful wine. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, Halliday Wine Companion

    Character and flavour.... There sure isn’t anything to complain about here. Berries, leathers, fistfuls of spice, rust, and woodsy spices. It’s juicy and intense enough but what it really is is dry, savoury and lenthy. Value alert. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

  9. Higher Plane 'Time for Heroes' Malbec 2024
    Higher Plane 'Time for Heroes' Malbec 2024
    SPECIAL BUY - A seriously gorgeous dark purple colour – tooth staining, but who cares? Youthful and vibrant, smelling of violets, warm bitumen, black pepper and woodsy spices, while flavours of blueberries, boysenberries and black cherries fill the light- to mid-weighted palate. It’s not all upfront fruit – there’s some earthiness/savouriness in the mix with poppy red cherry acidity and raw silk tannins. (93) JANE FAULKNER, Halliday Wine Companion

  11. Rutini Trumpeter Malbec 2022
    Rutini Trumpeter Malbec 2022
    The 2022 Malbec Trumpeter comes from the Uco Valley and was aged for seven months, one-third in French oak, one-third in American oak and the remainder in vats. A vibrant purple hue. The nose features notes of plum accompanied by delicate hints of violet. The palate is dry and juicy with a subtle grip and lingering oaky flavors. Overall, this is a well-crafted, affordable red. JOAQUIN HIDALGOm Vinous

    Rich and obviously fruity nose with some baked cherries, cassis and some stewed herbs. Direct and juicy on the palate with round tannins and a flavorful, fruit-driven finish. Drink now. ZEKUN SHUAI, JamesSuckling.com

  14. Chateau du Cedre Cahors 'Heritage' 2020
    Chateau du Cedre Cahors 'Heritage' 2020
    “The 24-ha estate of Pascal and Jean-Marie Verhaeghe has done as much as any to improve the recent quality of Cahors and provide the challenge it should be giving to the most profound Malbecs of Argentina - and some of the other great wines of France. Not only does the Domaine lead by example, but Pascal Verhaeghe has also been the driving force behind the Cahors ‘Quality Charter.' ANDREW JEFFORD The New France.

    Made from 100% Malbec including fruit grown by local producers that Pascal consults to. About 70% is lighter and finer material from the limestone plateau (the causses) and 30% richer and denser fruit from the iron-rich gravelly terraces of the Lot River valley. The vines average 25-30 years and about 85% of the fruit is currently certified organic, with one grower at year 2 in conversion.

    Fermented for a total of 20 days, with regular punch-downs for the first 3 or 4 days only. Malo-lactic conversion is carried out in tank, then the wine is matured for 16 months in concrete tanks. 2020 was an excellent vintage, mostly sunny and dry and harvested in ideal conditions.

    This has stunning cassis and blackberry fruit with delicate notes of spice and smoke. Excellent concentration and focus on the palate, the abundant fine tannins effortlessly carrying the very long, plush finish that already makes this irresistible! JAMES SUCKLING

    The 2021 The Farm Single Vineyard Cabernet Malbec is a singularly impressive wine: it is juicy and vibrant, but it is also layered with spice, rose petals, leaf/bramble and black tea nuance. The wine is detailed, incredibly so for the price (approximately $35AUD), and is possessed of the Clare Valley regional leafiness that so defines the Cabernets (and, to a certain extent, the Malbecs) from here. It's really good. ERIN LARKIN, Wine Advocate

    Loro Dark Chocolate Martini 200ml
    Dark Chocolate Martini 100% Chocolate . Gin . Vermouth

    Developed in collaboration with Mörk chocolate brewhouse in Melbourne, we’ve designed a pure and sweet chapter of a tale many times told. A refined, non-creamy chocolate martini using 100% Venezuelan chocolate––cold vacuum distilled to isolate an authentic flavour. In its cleanest version the chocolate was then blended with dry vermouth and gin to create a full flavoured, elegant chocolate martini. Not heavy, not sticky.

    To serve: Chill in the freezer for an hour prior to serving. Pour into a chilled glass, garnish with a lemon peel.

    Cosse Maisonneuve Cahors Solis 2019

    Matthieu Cosse and Catherine Maisonneuve created Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve in 1999 after taking over the  5-hectare estate in the small region of Prayssac, near Cahors in the south west of France. The property was planted with 40-year-old Malbec (locally known as 'Cot') and they have now moved towards Certified organic and work with some biodynamic principles. Everything is by hand here and the wines are uncommonly elegant and round compared to the more rustic versions we are used to seeing.

    No oak in this cuvee and it is so much better for it. That typical mulberry and boysenberry fruit leap out of the glass with a touch of licorice interspersed between wild bracken aroma. Approachable and fruity, with a soft, supple texture and dressed with a fine layer of smooth rich tannin. Vibrant and full of energy but still solidly built without feeling cumbersome or heavy. They really pull this off beautifully.

    Let’s be honest - cellos sound kinda nice and we all pretend to love them if we are on a  first date, but most of the time: BORING. Not any more. This cello is a disturbed, unhinged, raging hot mess of a drink. How, you ask? We infused zesty Australian blood orange peels with the dried husks of ancho chilli. It’s smokey, vibrant, zesty, bitter and sour.

    It’s everything you ever wanted in a drink but were too self-concious and idiotic to ask for. So top it with Prosecco, top up your Negroni or drink it like a heathen - because this little number is music for your mouth. A symphony for your senses. A tango for your tastebuds. You get the drift....drink it.

    Melbourne Gin Company Dry Gin 700ml

    Frank Moorhouse in his book Martini - a memoir states, "Every time it is served, the martini represents a journey towards an unattainably ideal drink". The idea of endlessly pursuing a perfection that does not exist is something well known to passionate winemakers. Having a winemaking background we thought we would delve into the mysteries of gin production. This was largely brought about by our fascination with martinis and all things gin.
    The notion of the "unattainable ideal drink" led us into a series of trials and experiments and we have become fully immersed in the alchemy of batch distillation and the extraction of exotic and local botanicals. The MGC doffs its hat to London Dry Gin with the two major components being juniper berries and coriander seed. There are 11 botanicals in total (not including a lot of love) with the grapefruit peel and rosemary coming from the garden at Gembrook Hill Vineyard. The other botanicals are macadamia, sandalwood, honey lemon myrtle and organic navel orange, which are all sourced from Australia. The exotics in the mix are angelica root, orris root and cassia bark.

    Each botanical is distilled separately and then blended to our recipe - essentially a winemakers approach. We use a copper pot baine-marie alembic still. A still traditionally used for making perfume. This allows us to preserve the delicate nature of the botanicals we work with. The final component is the water used to break the gin back. We use Gembrook rainwater which is pure and fresh and allows the botanicals to shine through. At only 60kms from Melbourne this local source contributes to the definition of the unique "Melbourne Dry Gin" style.

    The MGC is not chill filtered. We didn't want to take out the oils that contribute so much to the aromatics and mouth feel of the gin. So when the gin is very cold the oils become slightly insoluble and form a light haze. The French use the word louche to describe this. In a different context someone who is louche is of a shady character! Each bottle is numbered to reflect the small batches in which it is made. ANDREW MARKS, Distiller & Winemaker

    The Herno Gins are contemporary gind in a classic mould with some native botanical added. Meadowsweet is the most unique and has a somewhat subtle aroma reminiscent to almond. it is, most importantly, a traditional component of Scandinavian Meads as well as wines and preserves.

    Among other it has been awarded with IWSC World’s best London Dry Gin, World’s best Gin & Tonic and a Double Gold at the San Francisco Spirits competition.

    There is a sweet grassy/floral element with savoury coriander and juniper to the fore. The flavours ebb and flow on the palate gently pushing and pulling between savoury corriander/cassia bark and sweet vanilla. There is an almost confectioned element but it is soft and beautifully done. The flavours are long and lingering and there is a crunchy black pepper, green herb spice element on the close. PWS
