Q Malbec 2023

Q Malbec is a generous, full-bodied Australian Malbec from John Quarisa, with the Q very much standing for Quarisa. The 2023 is loaded with blueberry, mulberry and red cherry, backed by violet, cocoa and a touch of cedar. There is plenty of dark-fruited richness through the middle, but gentle tannins and fresh acidity keep all that flavour from becoming heavy. Made from fruit grown in South Eastern Australia, it is an easy choice for anyone who likes plush, smooth reds with plenty going on. Fire up the barbecue and pair it with steak, lamb or smoky grilled fare.

What the winery says:

The 2023 Q Malbec shows an intense red colour with purple hues and aromas and flavours of blueberry, mulberry and red cherry alongside cedar, cocoa and violet notes. The palate is youthful, juicy and generous, developing rich berry and plum flavours with a lush, mouth-filling texture. Gentle tannins and fresh acidity provide balance through the finish. The wine comes from South Eastern Australia and is bottled at 14% alcohol.
