VINIFICATION

The ongoing cooler, wetter La Niña spring reduced yields but Malakoff escaped frost. Fully destemmed fruit is sorted to intact berries, cold soaked, then gently fermented over two weeks with hand plunges and pump‐overs. Extended maceration follows (2–3 months), before pressing and ageing in used French and Austrian 500 L puncheons.

AROMA & PALATE

Lifted rose petal notes with cherry, satsuma plum, star anise, and coffee. Earthy, liquorice, and tobacco undertones are supported by fine tannins and bright acidity for tension and varietal drive.
