Bobar 2023 Syrah Malbec
$45.00
Grown on the steep east-facing slopes of the Highbow vineyard in Yarra Glen, infertile and rich in gravels. This striking vineyard lends wines a fruit richness and cool mineral freshness.
Syrah and Malbec were co-fermented as whole bunches for 14 days before pressing and matured in mature French oak puncheons on fine lees for 9 months. Bottled without fining for filtration. 85% Syrah, 15% Malbec
“It’s a pretty wine but also holds elegant shape, svelte tannins tucked in with ribs of smooth, river pebble texture going on. It stretches long, bright, with a bit of herbaceousness lifting through the wine pleasingly. There’s a touch of milk-choc-vanilla here too. A layer of additional interest and personality in that gentle sweetness, but also a game meat character lightly there too. Wonderful drinking ensues.” Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
