Bizoe Wines
Winemaking is a true reflection of place and the person guiding the grapes into becoming wine. With Bizoe, nothing is orchestrated or contrived to serve current trends or jump on the bandwagon of popular styles. Instead, honesty and sincerity lie at the heart of these wines and the team’s aspiration to make the best wine they can. Provenance is treasured from sustainable farming practices, anticipating the flavours in what you taste in the vineyards, and translating a unique vintage into the character the wine itself decided to be.
Description
Appearance: Malbec is known for this blue purple vibrance in its youth, and this young malbec is delivering just that. Still, with a deep core promising layer of flavour, the wine's luminosity attracts the attention from the start. Nose: Primary driven, the wine shares a rich basket of ripe black cherries, blueberries, black figs, potpourri, violets, and pepper. A hint of eucalyptus adds a pleasant coolness with wet earth and sweat leather adding a slight primal note. Secondary aromas of charred oak, cloves and roasted coffee beans open another realm of fragrances introduced by oak. Palate: The wine is dry with a vibrant freshness, a soothing attribute following its broody aroma. There is a fair share of fruit tannin and a dry tea leaf character that relieves the density of the oak tannin, contouring a rich and chalky finish. In body, the wine is leaner than the previous vintage, hoisting up layers with vibrant blue fruit, cherry, and violets for a solid finish. Conclusion: That whimsical and untamed nature of malbec is coupled with a classy execution, highlighting that intensity doesn’t always lure in boldness and chewy fruit. It is a lighter style of malbec displaying more mulberry and cranberry fruit wrapped up with a vibrant touch and fair definition that will stand it in good stead for the next three years.
