Awesome value Yarra Valley Cabernet blend.
"A blend of 56/38/6% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec. From three vineyards in Healesville and Seville. Exceptional value as always, but maybe even more so in this very good vintage. A brilliant purple with aromas of pure blackcurrant, cherry skins and crushed violets. Medium bodied, this is at once elegant and focused, with very fine-grained, persistent tannins. A class act to drink now and over the next six to eight years." 97pts Philip Rich Halliday Wine Companion 2027

Grapes are fully de-stemmed into small open pots. Fermented on naturally occurring yeast with plunging once per day early in ferment, some drain and return via gravity late in ferment, and pump overs. 16-20 days on skins, pressed to tank and settled for 2 days before racking to barrel. Matured in older hogsheads, SO2 added post racking.
