According to its maker, Steve Grimley, "This wonderful Malbec started the first few years of its life as a Merlot. We'd been buying fruit on the assumption it was Merlot... I know, it doesn't take a rocket scientist! I spent that time indulging in the fact our fortune would be founded on Australia's darkest Merlot! After a couple of harvests, I asked Jo (grower), 'You sure this is Merlot mate?' and after a few tests, sanity was restored and our big, dark Malbec was created. So much drinkability, it's scary.

"I originally started making wine from this vineyard in 2001 when working down in the South East of Australia, and by the time we moved up to McLaren Vale, I had formed a pretty strong relationship with it and the family who owns it. It's always nice to say you've made wine from every harvest of a particular site; you establish a special bond that only time can foster, a type of ethereal knowledge of the ebb and flow of each vine throughout the subtle (and not so subtle) variations of the season."- Steve Grimley, Winemaker.
