Ferngrove Orchid King Malbec 2023 Great Southern

Share

An indulgent and juicy Malbec, full of blackberry jubes, Indian spices and iron stone, the latter being a hallmark of Frankland River reds. Love to see it. In the mouth, the fruit is vibrant, the tannins charged, and the finish gently charred. It delivers all the generosity Malbec is known for, but with the bounce and elegance that cooler climates can provide. Drink with lean red meats.
