Trimboli Salvatore Malbec Shiraz Durif 2023

We first met Sam at the Warburn Estate in New South Wales 30+ years back, and have been following him and his wines ever since. They deliver every time with lovely fruity intensity, originality and value. In 2018, he finally decided it was time to return to his roots and his family estate in Griffith. He has nurtured partnerships with long standing grower friends and made us two Salvatore wines, both of which keep winning awards! He is a true genius. Here he shows that Malbec can perform as well in Oz as it does in Argentina, then added a sizeable portion of Shiraz and, of course, his favourite variety, Durif. Aged for four months in French oak barrels, it's supple, smooth and packed with ripe fruit. Top choice with a hearty casserole.
