The 2021 Gala Estate Heirloom Lavinia and Malthilda is a refined Australian red showing blackberry, dark cherry and plum with violet, dried herbs, cedar and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and structured, with balanced acidity, fine tannins and layers of dark fruit, savoury herbs and gentle oak. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent, with developing bottle complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Australian red drinkers who enjoy layered fruit, savoury detail and fine structure. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with slow-braised beef cheek, rosemary lamb shoulder, venison with pepper jus or wild mushroom and truffle pie.
