TASTING NOTES
In true Yarra Valley style, this is an elegant and medium weight Cabernet with aromas of briar berries and lifted herbal notes. The palate has bright berry fruits, hints of dried herbs and powdery tannins.
SEASON
2015 was a strong vintage in the Yarra Valley. Mild conditions in spring allowed excellent fruit set and yields were good. Continuing cool and mild conditions allowed good flavour development in Cabernet balanced with fine acid. It was generally dry and disease pressure was low.
WINEMAKING
The fruit was hand harvested in mid-March. It was open fermented and was matured for 15 months in the oak barrels.
One of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions, the Yarra Valley encompasses such diverse topography that it can produce premium quality fruit in a range of grape varieties.
With its stunning hills and dales ranged before a backdrop of blue mountains, elevations vary greatly. The climate is Mediterranean with a maritime influence from Port Phillips.
The Collection series are a set of premium wines from hand-picked regions around the world – each crafted to reflect a supreme sense of place and exceptional character.
The labels each feature a unique photographed object collected from the region the wine was grown, designed to present a story of the region's distinct characteristics.
This native eucalyptus was collected from the hilltops in Yarra Glen.
