The Listening Station Malbec 2024
The Listening Station Malbec from Swan Hill offers intense colour, chocolatey depth, and fresh, mineral-edged fruit. Part of Boutinot Australia 's Listening Station range, this is a bold yet balanced red that demonstrates how Australia delivers characterful Malbec with real appeal, sourced entirely from a single estate vineyard in Victoria . Why You'll Love It The Listening Station range is known for consistent quality and approachable styles that deliver exceptional value. The Malbec is sourced from a 5-hectare estate vineyard in Swan Hill planted in 2000, where vines grow on their own roots in red sandy loam with a limestone clay base, producing concentrated fruit thanks to the tough growing conditions. This is Australian Malbec with chocolatey richness, ripe fruit, and a streak of crisp minerality that sets it apart from more obvious New World styles. Vineyard and Production Grapes are machine-harvested at night to preserve freshness before fermentation in stainless steel at 25 degrees with regular pump-overs for three weeks to extract colour and structure. Malolactic fermentation follows, with 50% of the blend aged in French and American oak barriques for three months to add complexity and depth. Tasting Notes Dark and inviting, with chocolatey richness, ripe black fruits, and a streak of crisp minerality. Full-bodied yet balanced, this Malbec is both indulgent and fresh, making it highly drinkable. Perfect Pairings Perfect with a rich beef casserole, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, grilled steaks, or barbecued meats. Also excellent with burgers and mature cheeses. Grape Varieties Malbec
