The 2021 1683 Wines Malbec is a limited-production Malbec from Wilyabrup, Margaret River, showcasing the variety's richness alongside the elegance of this renowned cool-climate region. Produced in small quantities, the 2020 vintage delivers impressive concentration while retaining freshness and balance. The nose is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum, layered with violet, baking spice and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is full-flavoured with fine, velvety tannins and bright natural acidity. Flavours of dark berries, mulberry and black cherry are complemented by hints of cocoa, spice and gentle oak, leading to a long, balanced finish with refined structure. The careful use of French oak adds texture and complexity while allowing the fruit to remain the focus.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, cool-climate Malbec with rich fruit and polished structure. It pairs beautifully with grilled steak, slow-roasted lamb, beef short ribs, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy it now with a short decant, or cellar for8–10 years to allow additional savoury complexity to develop.
