Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec 2016 (Clare Valley)
Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec 2016 (Clare Valley)
Dozen Price: $275.88
RRP: $26.00
Cabernet Sauvignon has long been recognised as an excellent, consistent variety that performs well in the Clare Valley. The addition of Malbec adds to the complexity of the mid-palate contributing violet, mulberry, added texture and richness. The result is a full-bodied wine with generous chalky tannins. 2016 has been lauded as one of the great vintages, with red wines benefiting from the excellent ripening conditions, providing extraordinary fruit flavours.
Twenty-four months in French oak provides complexity, depth and balance to our house style which is dominated by juicy ripe plum and fresh blackcurrant and blackberry aromas and flavours. Feel content cellaring this Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec for at least ten years in good conditions. We recommend decanting a few hours before enjoying. The wine has not been cold stabilised, so a harmless crust may form with time.

Winery & Vintage Info
To create the 2016 Tim Adam's Cabernet Malbec the Cabernet components were separately fermented on skins, the Malbec components were co-fermented to dryness for seven days before being pressed. All pressings were returned to the wine to enhance texture and mouth-feel. Each of the parcels of wine spent 24 months ageing in a selected proportion of new, second-use and older French oak in the barrel store prior to blending, fining and bottling in July 2019.
