Malbec 2021 - $19.95
The Rivah Malbec is a fruit-driven red wine, with a vibrant red-crimson colour. The nose opens with rich plummy aromas and leads into a complex blend of cherry and spices. The palate begins with dark fruit flavours that are packing some punch, which fill out to a mixed berry flavour, balanced with gentle tannins and a subtle hint of oak to give added length of earthy compliments.

“Inky purple in colour, big aromas of plums, mulberries and a dash of vanillin oak. Classy silky smooth palate, loads of flavour and just a smidge grippiness on the lingering finish. A FAB FOOD WINE!!” Dan Traucki, June 2023
BRONZE MEDAL Riverland Wine Show 2023
“Sunraysia, by the banks of the mighty Murray River. Lots of sweet cherry and plum, slightly salty and ferrous, some liquorice, rose oil, and spice. It’s quite sweet with a Turkish delight flavour, moderate acidity, gentle tannin, and a jubey finish of some length, sweetness carries it, largely. It’s almost like a dessert wine, in terms of sweetness, but in a very come-hither way, it’s kind of nice. You could drink it with a light chill and pair it with (very) spicy (Indian) curries, or similar.” Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, June 2023
90 POINTS “It's fruit forward and beautifully lifted on the nose, showing dark berry, olive, smoky bacon and warm spice aromas, followed by a juicy palate that's rounded and plump. Flavoursome and silky with grainy tannins, finishing long and attractively dry.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2023
90 POINTS “There are a lot of wine grapes grown in Victoria’s Sunraysia, but rarely do we see the regional name on wine labels. It tends to play an anonymous role until you come upon little treasures such as this Malbec and, even then, its identity is well hidden. However, the winery address gives it away. From the eye-catching summery label to the $20 price tag, this Malbec is deserving of your attention. Generally consigned to a Bordeaux-style blend, Malbec stands tall combining a soft, plummy warmth with attractive savoury notes. Undergrowth, sage, blackberry and just a hint of blackcurrant pastille confection do the introductions on the bouquet. Rises on the palate with a layer of smoked charcuterie bringing extra interest amid the spice and ripe black fruits. Finishes nice and textural and warm across the tongue. Shows the grape’s versatility as a stand-alone wine with style and immediate drinking pleasure. More please. Drink 2023 - 2026.” Jeni Port, Wine Pilot, August 2023
