Overview
Overview
The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was first made in 1992 and in most years is sourced from Coldstream Hills G Block. A later maturing variety, Cabernet Sauvignon requires careful site selection with north facing hillside slopes being preferred. This wine is made using traditional techniques, with a portion staying on skins for extended maceration. Upon completion of fermentation, the wine is matured in new and used French oak barrels. Silky and concentrated, this wine displays the essence of cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon and will reward careful cellaring for at least fifteen years.

Nose
Brooding yet expressive with ripe blackberry and cassis characters underpinned by cedary French oak and enhanced by subtle notes of dark chocolate, nutmeg spice and Cabernet mineral dustiness.

Yarra Valley, Victoria
Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Vintage Conditions
A relatively warm start to the growing season with high rainfall, but generally fine conditions during flowering. An unseasonally wet January ensued easing to fine, warm and dry conditions resulting in an early and relatively compressed harvest period. Acid retention was high particularly across the white varieties.
