Woodlands Malbec 'Reserve de la Cave' 2021

Sourced from Woodlands' historic vineyard plantings dating back to 1975-1977, the Réserve de la Cave Malbec 2021 represents the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking. Produced only in exceptional years, this highly sought-after release showcases the remarkable quality and character of old-vine Margaret River Malbec.

Crafted with a simple, hands-on approach, the fruit is hand-picked, destemmed and carefully hand-sorted before fermentation in a small open fermenter. Following fermentation, the wine is matured for 15 months in new French oak, enhancing structure, complexity and cellar-worthiness while preserving the purity of the fruit.

Released in extremely limited quantities, the Réserve de la Cave wines are among the most collectible in the Woodlands portfolio. The Malbec is particularly prized for its ability to balance richness and concentration with elegance, refinement and exceptional ageing potential.
