Tamburlaine Point 65 Malbec 2021: Tasting Notes

WINE STYLE → Plush berry & cocoa

A Malbec that feels modern and easy, not heavy: bright cherry and raspberry, a little dark chocolate, and a savoury, herbaceous edge that keeps everything feeling fresh. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced—earthy richness through the middle, then soft, fine tannins that make it effortlessly food-friendly.

Highlights

• Certified organic and vegan-suitable
• Central Ranges, NSW fruit grown at 860m altitude
• Cherry, raspberry and dark chocolate with an earthy, savoury twist
• Soft tannins for easy midweek drinking (and even better with food)
• 14% ABV

Taste Profile

Food Pairing

Malbec loves smoky, grilled flavours, earthy vegetables and anything with a little spice or paprika. The soft tannins also make it a natural Cheese Board Match (especially with aged cheddar or manchego).

Producer

Tamburlaine has been making wine since 1966 and is now one of Australia’s best-known certified organic producers. They began converting vineyards to organic production in 1998, focusing on healthier soils and vines as the foundation for flavour and balance. With vineyards across the Hunter Valley and the high-altitude Orange/Central Ranges region, they’re especially strong on cool-climate detail—aromatics, freshness and drinkability. The Point 65 range leans into elevation, capturing vibrant fruit with a clean, food-friendly finish.
