A CLARE Valley specialty, Cabernet Malbec
to enjoy with osso bucco<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

TIM Adams isn’t a bloke who normally makes spur-of-the-moment decisions, but he did just that in 2008 and now he \u2013 and his many fans \u2013 are enjoying the rewards with an exceptional just-released 2008 Reserve Cabernet Malbec.<\/p>\n

Tim says he was standing by the crusher at his Clare Valley winery when just a tonne and a half of Malbec fruit came in from his Sheoak Vineyard, fruit he says was an immediate stand-out, bursting with violet, mulberry and blueberry aromas, virtually black in colour and incredibly concentrated.<\/p>\n

“We knew there was also some exceptional Cabernet coming in that afternoon from a neighbouring vineyard, and decided on the spot that the two would go just so well together, and ended up blending 60 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon with 40% Malbec \u2013 albeit just 2400 litres.<\/p>\n

“Cabernet Malbec is very much a Clare specialty, one I first experienced at the Stanley Wine Company where the late Mick Knappstein created Leasingham Bin 56 Cabernet Malbec, that’s widely regarded as one of Australia’s greatest reds.”<\/p>\n

Tim’s 2008 Cabernet Malbec has fresh blackcurrant, capsicum and violet flower aromas and flavours and will go marvellously with a hearty osso bucco; available in limited quantities online only through www.timadamswines.com.au<\/a> at $35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

EXCELLENT match with Asian
seafoods or Italian pastas <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE FOR LUNCH:<\/b> Senior Winemaker at Rymill Coonawarra, Sandrine Gimon enjoys creating blends, wines she says that bring together the best attributes of each variety in a tasty, textured and full-flavoured drop \u2013 and with the bonus of the flavours of more than one variety to match differing food choice.<\/p>\n

Her 2011 Rymill Coonawarra sbs is a lovely blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, one that has typical herbaceous, grassy and tropical fruit lushness with a zesty lemon finish and sweet spiciness; at $19.95 it’s one to really enjoy with Asian seafood or poultry dishes, or Italian pastas.<\/p>\n
