The vineyard is managed with low-input viticulture and the winemaking process is laissez-faire, allowing the wine to truly speak of its place. Wendouree wines are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich heritage, with the celebrated Wendouree Shiraz standing out as a true gem. This wine is derived from the estate's original 1893 plantings, believed to be genetic material from the original James Busby collection. Located on an easterly ridge towards the northern edge of the Clare Valley, the unirrigated Wendouree vineyards have shallow, meagre soils with red loam over limestone. The low-yielding old shiraz vines produce small berries with thick skins and a high seed content, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth and complexity. Despite its reputation and heritage, there are remarkably few older bottles of Wendouree wines in circulation. This can be attributed to the way the wines were sold until 1974, when they were sold in bulk and bottled and marketed by merchants, resulting in blended and single varietal shiraz wines being almost never seen. Wendouree wines are a testament to the quality of the vineyards and the winemakers' dedication to crafting exceptional wines.

The vineyard is managed with low-input viticulture and the winemaking process is laissez-faire, allowing the wine to truly speak of its place. Wendouree wines are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich heritage, with the celebrated Wendouree Shiraz standing out as a true gem. This wine is derived from the estate's original 1893 plantings, believed to be genetic material from the original James Busby collection. Located on an easterly ridge towards the northern edge of the Clare Valley, the unirrigated Wendouree vineyards have shallow, meagre soils with red loam over limestone. The low-yielding old shiraz vines produce small berries with thick skins and a high seed content, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth and complexity. Despite its reputation and heritage, there are remarkably few older bottles of Wendouree wines in circulation. This can be attributed to the way the wines were sold until 1974, when they were sold in bulk and bottled and marketed by merchants, resulting in blended and single varietal shiraz wines being almost never seen. Wendouree wines are a testament to the quality of the vineyards and the winemakers' dedication to crafting exceptional wines.

The vineyard’s stony soils, a remnant of an ancient riverbed, are covered in calcium carbonate and oval white stones that provide excellent drainage, preventing over-irrigation and stress on the vines.

Wendouree's vineyards, planted in 1893 and grafted from the original James Busby collection, carry an unparalleled legacy in Australian winemaking. These ancient vines, nurtured by the Brady family for decades, produce wines of rare complexity and depth. The Shiraz Malbec blend is one of Wendouree's iconic offerings, celebrated for its ability to age gracefully while showcasing the richness of the vineyard’s terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1158\"\u003eCrafted from carefully selected parcels of old-vine Shiraz and Malbec, this wine is produced in small batches, with only 4,500 litres made. Fermented in open-top fermenters and matured in French oak for 12 months, this wine epitomizes the legacy of Wendouree’s commitment to traditional winemaking methods. With its bold flavours, fine tannins, and powerful structure, this Shiraz Malbec is built for long-term aging and offers a glimpse into the history of Australian wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wendouree, crafted by Tony and Lita Brady, remains a true representation of its origins since the vines were first planted by Alfred Percy Birks in 1893. Considered by many as one of Australia's greatest Shirazes, this wine is made from low-yielding, beautifully formed old vines, many of which are from the original plantings. The vineyard is managed with low-input viticulture and the winemaking process is laissez-faire, allowing the wine to truly speak of its place. Wendouree wines are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich heritage, with the celebrated Wendouree Shiraz standing out as a true gem. This wine is derived from the estate's original 1893 plantings, believed to be genetic material from the original James Busby collection. Located on an easterly ridge towards the northern edge of the Clare Valley, the unirrigated Wendouree vineyards have shallow, meagre soils with red loam over limestone. The low-yielding old shiraz vines produce small berries with thick skins and a high seed content, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth and complexity. Despite its reputation and heritage, there are remarkably few older bottles of Wendouree wines in circulation. This can be attributed to the way the wines were sold until 1974, when they were sold in bulk and bottled and marketed by merchants, resulting in blended and single varietal shiraz wines being almost never seen. Wendouree wines are a testament to the quality of the vineyards and the winemakers' dedication to crafting exceptional wines. The Wendouree Shiraz, in particular, showcases the unique terroir of the Clare Valley and the heritage of the original James Busby collection, making it a true standout among Australian wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clare Valley wine region is located in South Australia and is known for producing exceptional Riesling wines, as well as other varietals such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Chardonnay. The region's vineyards are planted on shallow, meagre soils with red loam over limestone, contributing to the unique terroir of the wines. The climate is warm to hot in summers and cool in winters. The region is divided into five districts, each producing distinct wine styles. The Clare Valley has won countless international awards and is a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe vineyard itself is the dominating factor in the quality of the wines. Established in 1892, some of the vines are now well over 100 years old. In one block, a plot of bush-trained Shiraz dates from 1892 and another from 1893, while a parcel of trellised Mataro (Mourvèdre) has been grafted onto vines dating from 1898. Further from the winery, in what is known as the eastern block, there’s more Shiraz planted in 1919 and 1920 and some Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grafted over onto 1920s rootstock. The most recent plantings date from 1975 and the early 1980s. In all, there are 12 Ha of vines, a historical look into the Clare Valley viticultural past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards are unirrigated and planted on mainly red loam over limestone. There’s also a block on shale and a parcel that has sandier loam. The elevation is at 450–530m at the eastern block but despite this, the harvest for reds is typically two weeks earlier at Wendouree than elsewhere in the Clare Valley. Yields turn around just less than 30hl\/ha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested, basket pressed and fermentation takes place in open-top fermenters with hand plunging of the grape cap. The malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in 300-litre fine-grain French oak barrels, 25% new, for a year. It's an old school approach meaning that the only concessions to the modern age, is an area small laboratory for analysis, stainless steel to line the fermenters and in tanks for blending, and a tiny bottling line. Blending is carried out after the barrel aging and the wines are bottled with just a light filter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1492\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1190\"\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1224\"\u003eComplex, Fruit-Forward, Aromatic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eBlackberry, plum, and mulberry greets the nose, intertwined with menthol and subtle earthy notes.

The 70 acres of vines at Yarra Yering are grown without irrigation on a northerly slope at the foot of the Warramate hills. The vines benefit from good drainage, all-day exposure to the sun, and enough elevation from the valley floor to avoid spring frosts. This produces wines that are inherently balanced, precise, and elegant.

With patience, the 2012 Wendouree Malbec promises decades of evolution, reflecting both the longevity of the vineyard and the house’s unwavering commitment to traditional Clare Valley winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Deep and savoury\u003cbr\u003eAromas of blackberry, dark plum and blackcurrant layered with notes of graphite, dried herbs, cocoa and subtle earthy spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Structured and concentrated\u003cbr\u003eDense dark fruit flavours of plum and blackberry supported by firm tannins, savoury spice and mineral undertones that add depth and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and powerful\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish with lingering dark fruit, cocoa and earthy complexity, framed by structured tannins and impressive length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A deeply structured Malbec with dark plum, blackberry and earthy spice.

The Bodega Catena Zapata High Mountain Vines Malbec 2024 is crafted from a blend of estate vineyards situated across Mendoza’s renowned high-altitude regions, including Gualtallary, Lunlunta and El Cepillo. These elevated vineyard sites contribute distinctive layers of fruit, freshness and structure, reflecting decades of research and exploration by the Catena family into Argentina’s mountain terroirs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is made from 100% Malbec and undergoes extended maceration followed by maturation in French oak barrels, allowing complexity and texture to develop while preserving varietal purity. The 2024 vintage showcases the hallmark elegance of Catena Malbec, combining generous fruit concentration with remarkable freshness and balance. Aromas of dark berries, violets and subtle spice lead into a richly textured palate framed by refined tannins. The high-altitude origins impart energy and precision, preventing the wine from becoming overly heavy despite its depth of flavour. Approachable upon release yet capable of further development, it remains a benchmark introduction to premium Argentine Malbec. This versatile red pairs beautifully with grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, aged cheeses and hearty cuisine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich and expressive\u003cbr\u003eBlackberry, plum, violet and subtle spice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Smooth and concentrated\u003cbr\u003eDark berry fruit, cocoa notes and fine tannins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and balanced\u003cbr\u003eLingering black fruit, spice and fresh acidity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Malbec\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Argentina\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Mendoza\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2024\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 13.5% \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catena Zapata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43933577052247,"sku":"CAT-MAL-HM-24","price":37.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/c05b29d2-9f6f-4cb5-8a0b-9ad46061488f.webp?v=1780971293"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/collections\/catena-argentina.jpg?v=1787040183","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/collections\/malbec.oembed?page=2","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
