Cullen Wines Red Moon 2024

This is a blend of malbec, grenache, mourvèdre, petit verdot and merlot. The ferment took place naturally with no additions before 8 months in older oak. So the oak influence is minimal, but it still plays a role in developing the textural feel and concentration of the palate. The colour and the fruit are quite brilliant, with a palate showing plenty of chalky tannins for support. It’s a mighty good wine for this price when you’re looking for a value-for-money drink.
