Malbec, Withington
The fruit for this Malbec comes from a single vineyard of seven hectares on a farm about five kilometres on the southern side of Darling.
An easy-drinking, yet elegant wine with fabulous juicy red-berry flavours that can only come from well-nurtured sun-ripened grapes, gently crushed, slowly fermented and quietly matured. The label depicts the Nguni cattle that graze the Darling region of South Africa.
