Log in / Sign up Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec 2019
This Agincourt shows classic Cabernet notes of cassis and dark fruits and berries, along with a characteristic leafy herbaceousness. The Malbec gives the wine a plummy, dark cherry roundness, and, of course, more tannin.
The fruit for this Cabernet Malbec was sourced from Yarra Yering’s Agincourt block in the most easterly and sheltered part of their vineyard–Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1995 and Malbec planted in 1990.
Hand-picked, crushed and destemmed into open-top fermenters. The cap is managed twice daily with extra time on skins that softens the tannins. Basket pressed prior to MLF (malolactic fermentation) in seasoned French (Bordeaux) barrels and allowed to mature for 18 months.
