Higher Plane ‘Time For Heroes’ Malbec 2025 from Higher Plane in Margaret River is a vivid, dark‑purple Malbec that heroes juicy fruit and silky texture – bold to look at, yet wonderfully moreish and mid‑weight on the palate.

On the nose, Higher Plane Time For Heroes Malbec offers a rush of blueberries and cream, raspberry pip and berry compote, backed by redcurrant, a little blackcurrant, violets, sarsaparilla, cocoa and warm spice. The palate is juicy and vibrant with red‑fruited acidity, fine powdery tannins and pulpy freshness, finishing long and fruit‑laden while still feeling light on its feet. Crafted with a good dose of whole‑bunch and carbonic maceration, then aged briefly in neutral French oak, this Time For Heroes Malbec celebrates bright, drink‑now charm rather than heavy oakiness.

This ‘Time For Heroes’ Malbec is tailor‑made for beef and venison, particularly braised or barbecued short ribs, burgers, charcuterie and smoky lamb, where its juicy fruit and gentle grip handle richness effortlessly. It’s equally delicious with mushroom ragù, aubergine and chickpea dishes or pizza, making it a cracking all‑rounder for relaxed dinners and sharing with friends.
