Introducing an exclusive new Australian Malbec release at Artisan Malbec: 1683 Wines Loin du Clos Malbec 202 Crafted in tiny quantities in Wilyabrup, Western Australia, this is not your everyday Malbec. Winemaker Gordes Frobenius brings a remarkable background to the project, with experience at some of the world’s most respected estates, including Domaine Armand Rousseau, Henri Germain and Felton Road. Only 3,600 bottles of this Malbec are produced, from hand-picked fruit, indigenous yeast fermentation and up to 24 months ageing in exceptional Burgundian oak sourced through his connection with Armand Rousseau. The result is a rare Australian Malbec with Burgundian elegance, beautiful precision and a deep sense of place. Refined, expressive and seriously limited. A rare opportunity for lovers of Argentine Malbec to discover just how beautifully this variety can express itself on Australian soil.
