Bold, muscular and tense yet with an endearing persona, this Storm King Wine Co Shiraz Malbec 2024 is a perfect fire pit wine, but it would be just as good to snuggle up to watching the Friday night footy.
A 50/50 blend that spent 58 days on skins and 8 months in seasoned French oak, the blanket of comfort this delivers is inescapable.
Dense, concentrated fruit is highlighted by stewed plums, dark cherries and cola. Give it some time to breathe and the Malbec really takes centre stage. Some earthiness, mushroom broth and delicate fine spices deliver a respectable shade of savoury delight. A wine of comfort and soul, buxom, juicy tannins dry out ever so slowly, delivering a fabulous moreish appeal.
Forget the numbers, this is a killer drink that pulls you in and engages you completely.
Drink to five years+
