About the Wine
McLaren Vale is the birthplace of wine in Southern Australia. This region has been producing high-performing red wines for decades. Decanter magazine said, "This famous South Australian wine region, more than any in the country, has succeeded in balancing tradition and innovation."
One of the winemakers embracing Southern Australian wines is legendary Aussie winemaker Steve Grimley. At his Five O-Clock Somewhere Wines, he leads a group of passionate, young winemakers and wine-lovers who craft collections of wine that are inspired, inventive and engaging.
Under the Five O-Clock Somewhere umbrella, Grimley’s own exclusive collection is Ees & See. Under this label, he creates what he calls “wines that are interesting, purposeful, and honest in a dare-to-be-great environment.” This Malbec is the ideal wine to acquaint you with this rising star in McLaren Vale.
The grapes for the 2016 Ess & See 50S Malbec come from the Lopresti Vineyard. This vineyard's location makes it the perfect place to grow Malbec, it's "consistently producing wines with alluring warmed fruits." The result is a seductive Malbec, with a generous palate, that's ready to drink and enjoy today!
Tasting Notes: 100% Malbec. Alluring aromas of red fruits like strawberries, berries, cherries, and notes of raisin toast. The palate is generous and long with chalky tannins. Amazing Malbec from the McLaren Vale.
