Wine Description
Only six barrels of this intense and pure Malbec were produced. Langhorne Creek offers a more luscious experience than its better known Argentinian cousins, but the violet bouquet and the pure purple palate leave no doubt about what variety it is. Malbec has been planted here for over 60 years and the vines are well suited with the local un-grafted Potts clone being the basis for this wine. It is not made every year due to the capricious and sensitive nature of the grape. The purple label tells the story of the vibrant and concentrated fruit in the bottle.
