The 2023 Hay Shed Hill Vineyard Series Malbec is a vibrant Margaret River Malbec that showcases the variety's rich fruit and elegant structure. Crafted by Hay Shed Hill, this wine opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum, complemented by notes of violet, cocoa and subtle spice. The winery's cool maritime climate helps retain freshness while allowing the fruit to develop excellent concentration.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a plush texture, fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Layers of dark berries, blueberry and black plum are supported by hints of dark chocolate, gentle oak and savoury spice, leading to a long, smooth finish with impressive depth and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Margaret River Malbec for those who enjoy richly flavoured yet balanced reds. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar over the next 8–10 years. It pairs beautifully with grilled rib-eye, slow-cooked lamb, beef brisket or aged cheddar.
