Bremerton Special Release Malbec 2015

Bremerton Special Release Malbec 2015

  08:30    Stu.

---

Malbec from Langhorne Creek and those wily Willson sisters, Rebecca and Lucy.

Fruits of the forest, a little creamy vanillin from oak use.

Medium bodied, moderate acidity, good raspy tannin. A real mouthful of ripe black fruit - present on both the nose and backed up on the palate delivering satisfying length. 

Good presence of fruit, flavour and indeed feel. 90

Trossen Spätburgunder Rosé 2015

Trossen Spätburgunder Rosé 2015

Funky, yeasty, barnyard meets toffee Apple, wild strawberry. Certainly on the more interesting of where you often find Rosé.

Soft and delicate, it springs a surprise with a burst of berry energy and spike of acidity. There's a minerally, quartz-like energy to the wine, leaving it humming along in the mouth.  

Certainly carries a fine delicacy, a prettiness that graces the palate. 92
