The Reserve Cabernet was first made in 1992 and in most years is sourced from fruit grown on the thirty year old Coldstream Hills G Block. As a later maturing variety, Cabernet Sauvignon requires careful site selection with north facing hillside slopes being preferable.
Nuances of dark chocolate and nutmeg spice enhance the wine which are supported by seamless French oak. Layered and textural, the palate finishes with a characteristic fine-grained tannin profile.
Silky and concentrated, this wine displays the essence of cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon and will reward careful cellaring for at least fifteen years.

“The fruit and tension bode well for a bright future. ’17 was a good vintage for later ripeners.”
Classic notes of cassis, blackberry and blue-fruits dominate with underlying cedary French oak, vanilla pod and dark chocolate.
Medium bodied, beautifully layered and balanced, finishing with characteristic fine-grained tannins. Blackberry, cassis and blueberry notes are supported by hints of anise, seamless oak and dark chocolate. Pure and vibrant, this wine is an excellent example of Yarra Valley Cabernet from the outstanding 2017 vintage.
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.
