The 2022 Pepper Tree Preservative Free Malbec is a vibrant and fruit-driven Australian Malbec crafted without the addition of preservatives, allowing the purity of the fruit and varietal character to take centre stage. Produced as part of Pepper Tree’s Limited Release range, the wine is made for freshness, approachability and immediate enjoyment while still delivering the richness and structure Malbec lovers expect. The 2022 vintage produced beautifully concentrated fruit with bright natural acidity, making it particularly well suited to this lively preservative-free style.
The nose reveals dark plum, blackberry and blueberry layered with violets and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with juicy dark fruit, smooth texture and graphite-like tannins balanced by vibrant acidity and freshness. Layers of black fruits, red plum and gentle savoury notes unfold with softness and energy, finishing bright, polished and highly drinkable with excellent fruit purity and balance.
