Deep garnet in the glass with inviting aromas of black cherry, blackberry compote and a whisper of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate, bold but balanced, with luscious dark-fruit flavours of boysenberry and black plum, offset by subtle graphite minerality and a bright thread of acidity. The tannins are smooth yet firm, carrying through to a long finish of bittersweet chocolate, black currant and a touch of orange-zest lift. A sophisticated Malbec from the Royal Slope’s famed Stillwater Creek, ready to enjoy now and to cellar for several years.

2022 Midnight Masquerade
Shadows flicker, candles glow, and mystery fills the air. Behind every mask lies a story — and in this bottle, a secret worth unveiling.

Crafted as a very limited bottling for our 8th Annual Hallo-Wine release, this Cabernet Franc–forward Bordeaux-style blend reveals layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and cocoa dust, entwined with whispers of violet and graphite. Aged for two and a half years in new French oak, it unfolds with rich texture and refined tannins, weaving notes of espresso, cedar, and spice into a seamless, velvety finish.  Elegant yet powerful, Midnight Masquerade invites you to linger in the intrigue — one sip at a time.
