2021 Malbec
The fruit for this wine is sourced from the same vineyard as our 2019 vintage, vines which we have been fighting to keep from the big wineries down in Margaret River!
A true expression of terroir, fruit was picked in mid-‐March and crushed into open fermenters with wild yeast allowed to do their work. On skins for 10 days, gently plunged by hand with no acid additions or fining. Minimal Sulphur addition made post malo, aged in old French oak barrels for 12months before bottling without filtration.
Cherry and dark chocolate on the nose with a cheeky hint of tapenade and earthy soul. Lush strawberry, raspberry and red fruits dominate with a flirtatious confectionery back palate. A crunchy acid line and lingering velvety tannins make you want to come back for more...
Vallée du Venom is Rhys and Emma Parker and their ‘Urban Micro Winery’ in Dunsborough, Western Australia. The winery is located in the north of the world-renowned Margaret River Wine Region.
With access to premium vineyards and reliable maritime climate vintages, Vallée du Venom produces small-batch, terroir-driven wines centred around a minimal intervention ethos.
Without the benefit of inheriting vineyards or a winery nor wishing to relinquish control to a third-party winemaking facility, Rhys and Emma started from scratch. Converting a bare, concrete warehouse in the heart of Dunsy into a winery, the Urban Micro Winery concept was as much a necessity as it was a vision.
