Coopers Creek Select Vineyards The Exile Gisborne Malbec 2019
- Oaked
- Wild berry
- Full bodied
- Balanced
"Brightly fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, dried herb, olive and floral aromas, followed by a nicely rounded palate offering juicy fruit flavours backed by fine chalky tannins. Structured and firm with ripe berry and spicy flavours. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2022
The colour in this wine is stunning. A black core leads to a bright red-purple rim. Plummy notes intermingled with the ‘wild berry’ character that typifies New Zealand Malbec. A touch of oak completes the picture. This full bodied red has an excellent balance between fruit, acid and tannin. The overall effect is to coat the palate from front to back and side to side. There is a strong core of sweet black fruit on the finish.
Malbec and Gisborne are made for each other. Spring comes early and the summers are warm and sunny – just the sort of conditions that Malbec loves. This wine is based on a parcel of fruit from Hexton, which is just outside the Gisborne city limits. The fruit was harvested in pristine condition and trucked overnight to our winery in Auckland. Following vinification, the wine was matured for around a year in seasoned oak bariques.
Food Pairing: Masses of meat required, Churrasco style.
