Delatite Dungeon Gully 2022

A blend of Malbec, 75%, and Merlot, 25%, this is perhaps not the most common mix of varieties we encounter, but it works well. From biodynamically grown grapes, which were 46 and 45 years in age, respectively, 15% of the wine was placed in old oak puncheons for fermentation with a further eight months of maturation. A vibrant magenta purple, the nose revealed notes of plums, black cherries, charcuterie and warm earth, along with some well advanced oak integration. A wine of medium length, there is gentle grip here and fine tannins. The palate sees the emergence of some chocolate and licorice notes. Enjoy this over the next five to seven years.
