Beach House Cellar Release Cabernet Malbec 2020

Winemaking
A limited cellar release from Beach House Wines, this 2020 blend brings together the power of Cabernet Sauvignon with the plush depth of Malbec. Sourced from vineyards on the warm, gravelly soils of Hawke’s Bay, the wine was aged in oak and then cellared to allow the structure to soften and the flavours to integrate beautifully before release.

Bouquet
Rich and expressive with aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, and blueberry. Layers of clove, cedar, and tobacco leaf add warmth and complexity.

Palate
Full-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture. Ripe dark fruit flavours are joined by notes of cocoa, spice, and a touch of vanilla. Tannins are polished and integrated, giving structure without harshness. The finish is long, savoury, and satisfying.

Food Pairing
Pair with grilled red meats, venison, roast beetroot, or smoky barbecue. A great wine for hearty winter dishes or aged cheeses.

Interesting Fact
Cellar release wines like this are specially held back to offer drinkers a ready-to-enjoy bottle at its peak. With four years of development, this Cabernet Malbec offers richness and depth without the need for extended cellaring at home.
