This vintage has not been rated yet; see 2020 tasting note:
‘The 2020 (price: R260 a bottle) was matured for 15 months, 70% in barrel, of which 20% was first-fill, and 30% in concrete egg. Cassis, violets and herbs on the nose while the palate has good structure – pure fruit matched by lively acidity. Not too weighty or sweet, the extraction and oaking has been well handled. Alcohol: 13.99%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100

| Producer information | Paul Wallace, a viticultural consultant with over 30 years experience, purchased an Elgin farm with his wife Nicky in 2003. With a strong belief in the potential of the cool-climate Elgin region, they replaced the orchards with vineyards, creating 12 new hectares of vines. They have been producing the Black Dog Malbec since 2004 and from 2013 have expanded their wine range. This is a family affair with sons, Mark and Bobby, involved in the farm and also starting their own wine project together. |
