Killibinbin 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.

Wayne and Liz made just 80 cases from a tiny plot of Malbec hidden in the Adelaide Hills. While their Langhorne Creek reds receive rave reviews, this black, inky, beefy Malbec is an even rarer, more exciting beast.

Deep bramble flavours merge with toasty oak and hints of liquorice. Long, full and seriously smooth … a wonderfully heart-warming drop.
