Gathering Field Shiraz Malbec 2021
A gorgeous bright crimson purple. I’ve not come across this shiraz/malbec blend before but from what was a great vintage in the Yarra Valley, this totally works. Dark plums, blackberries, smoked meats and black pepper aromas abound.The stylish palate is concentrated and very well balanced with ripe fine-grained tannins. Screw cap. 13% alc. Rating 96. Drink 2022-2030. Philip Rich

Gathering Field Shiraz Malbec 2021
A 50/50 blend. No bunches. Old French oak.
Fresh blackberry, exotic spice, a little grilled meat, dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied, but very concentrated, deep and chewy with a distinct ‘mineral’ character to acidity, dark tobacco, and a long slate-y finish. So distinctive and really very impressive.
