Killibinbin Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2006

Killibinbin - a small, boutique winery set in the Adelaide Hills region of Australia - was founded by self-confessed wine nuts Wayne Anderson and Liz Blank. After years of working in the hospitality industry, the couple decided to throw caution to the wind and dedicate their lives to producing top-notch wines. They started out with "no vineyard, no grapes, no winery, no winemaker, no money, but loads of gumption!"

Their philosophy about winemaking is equally as simple - "it's all about the fruit" - and they keep to traditional methods. The guys at the RedHeads studio share this approach, so the Killibinbin wines are made here.

Cool climate, Adelaide Hills Cabernet and Malbec, plus 18 months in French oak put this firmly in cru classé territory - opulent red of jaw-dropping concentration. Intense blackcurrant and cherry flavours underlaid with notes of toasty oak. Open the bottle at least an hour before drinking to allow the flavours to open out, and enjoy with char-grilled steak or roast beef with all the trimmings. One not to miss!
