The 2021 Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series Malbec is a bold and expressive Margaret River red, showcasing the region’s ability to produce structured yet vibrant Malbec with both power and finesse. Crafted from dry-grown vines and matured in French oak, it delivers depth, complexity and a distinctly savoury edge. The nose is intense and layered, offering dark plum, blackberry and black cherry alongside notes of black olive, tobacco, liquorice and spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with a rich, textured mouthfeel, combining concentrated dark fruit with savoury undertones, fine oak integration and firm yet polished tannins that lead to a long, structured finish. The style sits between ripe New World fruit and Old World savouriness, delivering both generosity and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Malbec for customers looking for something richer and more structured than typical fruit-driven styles. It’s bold yet balanced, making it great for both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring. Drink now with decanting or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with grilled steak, lamb, slow-cooked meats or hearty dishes.
