2024 Cabernet Malbec

Price range: $40 through $430

When Cabernet met Malbec. They got along.

A blend of 51% Cabernet Franc, 30% Malbec and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, bringing together three distinct McLaren Vale sites.

Cabernet Franc from Blewitt Springs brings fragrance and lift, Malbec from McLaren Flat adds juicy dark fruit, while Clarendon Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and depth.

Gently fermented with whole berries and extended skin contact, then basket pressed and matured in French oak for 12 months. The result is a beautifully balanced red with plenty of flavour, fine tannins and a silky, lingering finish.

Put dinner on. Open this.

Awards

  • 95 points, Halliday Wine Companion"Michael Sexton makes such graceful red wines, fragrant, finely structured, textural and intense without heft or overt inputs. Prioritising cabernet franc over cabernet sauvignon makes such sense with his style, with a more open, less rugged profile. Mulberry, baking spices, sauna cedar, currants, lots of lavender and violet, cracked pepper and graphite. The tannic framework is quite a thing, both feeling linear and lateral, the charming fragrance billowing out through the long finish. I really like this." Marcus Ellis, May 2026
