Killibinbin Smitten Malbec

Killibinbin Smitten Malbec, crafted by winemaker Jim Urlwin in South Australia’s Langhorne Creek, delivers a lavish combination of ripe blackberry, juicy plum and dark cherry. Full-bodied and expressive, this enticing red wraps generous fruit in velvety texture, offering plenty of richness alongside the structure that makes a satisfying food wine.

Blackberry and cassis aromas mingle with plum, cedar and subtle vanilla, creating an inviting first impression. Killibinbin’s Smitten Malbec follows through with concentrated dark fruit and refined, grippy tannins, while hints of tobacco and eucalyptus add savoury interest. The result is a bold Australian Malbec with depth and character.

Pour alongside chargrilled rib-eye, rosemary roast lamb or a slow-cooked beef casserole. Its generous fruit complements caramelised meat, while the tannins suit protein-rich dishes beautifully. For something different, try roasted pork shoulder with earthy lentils, bringing the wine’s dark-fruited richness and savoury detail into delicious focus.
