“The Malleea” by Majella continues the great Australian tradition of Cabernet/Shiraz blends. The 2000 Malleea is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Shiraz. We use the ripest parcels of fruit from our oldest vines, ferment them gently in our modern fermentation cellar, and then finish off the ferment in new French oak hogsheads. The wine is then aged for another 29 months in these barrels, before bottling in imported fine Italian bottles.

This is the fourth “Malleea” produced. It has great depth of flavour showing very complex, rich, intense, layered fruit, and elegant nose and an exceptionally long, lingering finish. Only 520 dozen were produced.
