Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec

Tim Adams Cabernet Malbec 2019, crafted by winemaker Tim Adams in South Australia’s Clare Valley, delivers a generous expression of dark fruit and beautifully judged oak. Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and intensity, while Malbec adds mid-palate richness and violet perfume, creating a full-bodied red with depth, balance and plenty of character.

Juicy black plum, fresh blackcurrant and blackberry unfold with herbal spice, floral perfume and toasty oak. The 2019 Tim Adams Cabernet–Malbec combines concentrated fruit with generous chalky tannins, polished by 24 months in French oak. Decant a few hours before serving to let its inviting aromas and flavours open up.

Serve with rosemary lamb shoulder, chargrilled rib-eye or slow-braised beef cheeks. These suggested pairings build on the producer’s recommendation of red meat, matching the wine’s substantial structure and rich fruit. For a hearty vegetarian alternative, try mushroom and lentil shepherd’s pie, allowing its savoury flavours to complement the oak spice.
