Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc share some flavour characteristics that are uniquely Bordeaux. Perhaps they share genes from Sauvignon Blanc. Hence the fresh, herby green element to the flavour, the hint of capsicum and asparagus....but Malbec is least tarred with that brush. Nothing speaks to me more of orchard fresh plums, somewhat tart, a little on the green side.
Malbec is a very interesting variety with a distinctive flavour profile that is a useful addition to ones armoury. The Bordelaise call it 'Cot'. I well remember the early Malbecs that were made by Jack Mann of Houghtons. They were sold as Strelley Claret. My enthusiasm for the variety was also excited by wines made at Alkoomi in Frankland by Merv Lange. We are impressed with Malbec, so much so that we have expanded the plantings in that part of the Three Hills property we called 'Ophir'. It is high country, gets every wind there is, so we need the trees to grow to shelter the vines. The soil is deep quartz and felspathic grit. These are plateau soils, water worked under some ancient sea, and the establishment is almost heartbreakingly slow. Each year there are more vines reaching the wire, there is more foliage and better protection from the wind. Ophir was the place King Solomon obtained exotic imports namely, silver, gold, apes, ivory, and peacocks. We have similar expectations. Instead of arriving in trireme however, the exotics arrive in 750 ml bottles.
