Description

If big, bold Malbec full of plush fruit and subtle spice is what you're looking for, this one from Argentinian-born Martin Moran is one you can't miss. In some ways, it's an homage to his home town of Mendoza - a place highly regarded for Malbec.

The fruit comes from a single vineyard in Langhorne Creek, a great Aussie region for this variety.

It's one impressively bold, structured red filled with purple florals, ripe plum, whiffs of chocolate and peppery spice, finishing dry and long. Beautiful.

"The wine has a constant byplay, pitting juicy dark fruits against a savoury, spicy backdrop, the cool vintage imparting its special signature. The marriage of Langhorne Creek and malbec has been consummated countless times, albeit seldom with the finesse of this wine."
- James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

*** Mordrelle’s beautiful labels are created from original artworks painted by Martin Moran's late father, renowned Argentinian artist Jose Luis Moran. The artworks are available for sale through the Mordrelle website.

Malbec

Very delicious. Loved it as much as the 2021 vintage.

This wine was produced with grapes from a single vineyard located in Langhorne Creek, a region that delivers superb Australian Malbec. It displays an intense purple colour with violet floral aromas, and flavours of ripe plums and chocolate combine with subtle spices and hints of black pepper. It finishes dry with very silky tannins and a lengthy fruit aftertaste. This Argentinean gaucho, a strong spirited nomad, shares my Argentinean heritage, and my hometown of Mendoza’s passion for Malbec.

Mordrelle

Martin Moran was born and raised in Argentina, where his infatuation with viticulture and winemaking began as his grandfather would walk with him through their family vineyards in Mendoza.

He went on to specialise in viticulture and oenology, and eventually found himself in Australia to work vintages across the Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale regions. It was here that Martin stayed, falling in love with (and marrying) his wife Michelle and embarking on the dream of starting their own boutique label - starting with their first wine, a sparkling created just for their wedding!

They specialise in premium, aged sparkling wines, but you'll find plenty of joy in their reds and whites too.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
