Brand & Sons Night Owls Shiraz Malbec

Brand & Sons Night Owls Shiraz Malbec 2023 is an energetic Coonawarra red from Brand & Sons, named for the jazz band that once brought music to the local hall. Blending Shiraz with Malbec, it combines vivid red-fruit perfume, darker berry depth and the firm, cool-climate structure that gives it real drinkability at the table.

Red cherry, pomegranate and wild raspberry lead the aromas, followed by dark plum, blackberry, tobacco leaf, rye spice and a smoky lick of chocolate oak. The Brand & Sons Night Owls Shiraz Malbec 2023 has bright acidity and a savoury core, while chewy yet fine tannins bring shape and length to its fresh, fruit-driven palate.

Pour this Coonawarra Shiraz Malbec with chargrilled lamb skewers, smoky beef burgers, spicy sausage pizza or slow-cooked eggplant parmigiana. Its red-fruit lift and peppery edge work brilliantly with char, spice and tomato-rich dishes. A lively, medium to full-bodied Australian red that is made for Friday-night food, good music and a generous second glass.
