Reschke R-Series Malbec comes from the Limestone Coast in South Australia, made by Reschke Wines. The winery emphasizes strong vineyard work, selecting fruit from warm sites with good soil drainage, which helps produce intensely flavored grapes. This Malbec is crafted to capture ripe dark fruit flavours while still retaining structure and freshness. It has an ABV around 14.5%, showing that it leans into power and depth. Oak treatment is used to add complexity like vanilla, spice, and chocolate, but the fruit tends to lead. Vintage in many listings is 2022.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Deep purple colour with strong saturation, almost opaque in centre, with bright violet edges.
- Aroma: Rich with black plum, blackberry, and mulberry; notes of dark jam, chocolate, vanilla spice, and a touch of oak-derived cedar or baking spice.
- Palate: Full-bodied and plush; flavours of black fruit compote, dark plums, juicy blackberry; oak gives vanilla, cocoa, and gentle chocolate; tannins are firm but not harsh; good acidity balancing the richness.
- Finish: Long and warming; fruit stays prominent, the oak persists with spice and vanilla; linger is smooth though you feel the tannins anchoring the end.
- ABV: ~ 14.5%
Serving Suggestions:
Serve at about 16-18 °C. Decanting for 30 minutes can help soften the tannins. Pairs beautifully with grilled or barbecued red meats (steak, lamb), rich mushroom dishes, mature cheeses, or anything with a smoky or spicy edge. Also stands well on its own for sipping.
