Battles Donnybrook Malbec 2023

Fruit sourced from the Barreca vineyard in Donnybrook, Western Australia. This wine reflects the ideal conditions of the 2023 harvest season: a cool, wet winter and spring followed by a warm, dry summer. Picked mid-season to retain freshness, it offers perfumed aromatics and a slick, juicy palate with prominent blackberry notes and subtle hints of spice and cedar from its French oak aging. Despite its ripe profile, it maintains a delicate balance and soft texture, with fine tannins contributing to its gentle, encompassing character. Atypical to a Mendoza expression, it showcases high and energizing acidity, singing on the back palate, with an enduring finish.
