Juniper Canvas Malbec 2023, Margaret River, AUD $29
The wine was fermented in two parcels, one going through carbonic maceration for 13 days. Both parts were matured in French oak post fermentation.
Inky core to a plush, deep purple rim. Blackberry, cured beef and dried herbs on the nose. Full bodied and densely fruited and the palate. Anise, dried woody herbs and cured beef notes all add a deeper element to the flow; firm gravelly tannins bring it to heel and ensure a long and drying finish. (Screwcap)
