Woodlands Malbec 'Reserve de la Cave' 2022

The Woodlands Réserve de la Cave Malbec 2022 is a rare and highly collectible wine sourced from some of the oldest Malbec vines in Margaret River. Drawn from the historic Woodlands Vineyard in Wilyabrup, with plantings dating from 1975 to 1977, this small-batch release represents the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking.

Produced only in exceptional vintages, the Réserve de la Cave range showcases carefully selected parcels of fruit that best express the character and pedigree of Woodlands' mature vines. The fruit is hand-picked, destemmed and hand-sorted before fermentation in a small open fermenter. Following fermentation, the wine is matured for 15 months in new French oak, creating a wine of depth, structure and remarkable ageing potential.

Renowned for their rarity and craftsmanship, Réserve de la Cave wines are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. The Malbec is particularly prized for its ability to combine concentration and power with the elegance and refinement that define the Woodlands style.
