RAY JORDAN'S WA WINE GUIDE | 93 POINTS
Deep red with a bright purple hue. Lifted aromatics of blackberry, plum, black cherry, and spice. A juicy and plush palate with firm tannins.
The fruit was machine harvested and gently crushed with rollers out. As a result, the fermenter retained many whole berries. The cool temperature of the fruit allowed a slow start to fermentation. The ferments were pumped over and plunged twice a day; temperature was held around 25°C to prevent over extraction of tannins locked in the skins. The wine was gently pressed and transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. After the correct amount of barrel maturation, the wine was fined then bottled.
Fidium Malbec would be perfectly accompanied by beef brisket and barbeque sauce.
