Ray Jordan
Malbec is an ideal variety for this soft and approachable early drinking red. The red fruits of plum and rhubarb emerge on the nose, while the palate is plump and fleshy with just enough tannin and a little oak to balance and support. Scrumptious wine for drinking over the next few years.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion
The Debut range is all about immediate appeal and ready-to-drink styles, although this does have substance behind it. Super dark purple-red in colour. A whiff of reduction adds some meatiness, as other aromas of warm bitumen, black fruits, licorice and baking spices come to the fore. The fuller-bodied palate is defined by ripe tannins and a core of juicy acidity.
