Majella The Malleea Cabernet Shiraz

“The Malleea” by Majella continues the great Australian tradition of Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz blends. “Malleea”, an Aboriginal term meaning “green paddock” is a great descriptor for the green, lush pastures and vineyards of the limestone coast region in the South Eastern portion of South Australia. First made in 1996, and only produced when growing conditions are perfect for producing premium quality wines.

The 2014 “The Malleea” is a dark magenta colour, with a bright purple hue. Lush mulberry, black currant, blackberry and vanillin oak on the nose. The layered palate is of cassis, plum fruit and spice with undertones of mint. Fine structured tannins and subtle oak enhance the finish. Cellaring: 15 - 20 years.
