Oakley Adams McLaren Vale Malbec 2023

Many customers have come to believe that they can identify the taste of the wine they will enjoy by the variety and are then reluctant to try something different. Thus Shiraz and cabernet make up most sales. So why would Glug purchase a red from McLaren Vale made from Malbec. As a niche business we like to offer customers a difference though what we buy always returns to one simple motivation. Find good wines that are cheap for the flavours they deliver and offer these to customers regardless of the district, the variety or the vintage. Let the customers decide. Malbec is often used as a blending grape and most famously made up 10% of the first Jacobs Creek Shiraz Cabernet Malbec 1973 that was the smash hit upon release in 1976. Glug has used Malbec often in blends and it plays a role like Mataro in our Barossa reds. This wine is so impressive we simply sent it to bottle as purchased.
