ATLAS SWIFT Shelter Malbec 2023

Only the healthiest berries from hand-harvested grapes made it into the small, open-top fermenters where they were fermented on the skins. During fermentation, pump-overs were performed twice a day to extract the ripe, round tannins and the maximum amount of colour pigment. To ensure that the fruit remains the primary focus, the wine was aged in older French oak barrels for 12 months to limit the influence of oak-derived characters.

Shelter Malbec, a wine that captures the vibrancy of Wellington’s terroir with every sip. 

Only 1432 bottles produced!

A vibrant and pure expression of the grape, with bright aromas of blackberry, juicy plum, and fresh cherry, complemented by subtle herbal and floral undertones. The absence of new oak allows the wine’s lively acidity and terroir-driven freshness to shine, resulting in a beautifully balanced and expressive profile. This fruit-forward style is particularly appealing to those who appreciate the unadulterated essence of Malbec, delivering purity, energy, and a refreshing finish.
