A very deep red in colour. Vibrant aromas of dark cherries, aniseed and liquorice, distinctive and seductive with exotic spices and espresso coffee. The dark berry fruit palate is rich and powerful, yet gently evolving, with a classy restrained elegance, displaying silky raspberry, damson plum and sweet blackberry fruits. A wonderfully balanced wine with beautiful tannins.
Food Pairing: Grilled or roast beef, pepper sauce steak.
Cellaring: Will continue to improve in the cellar until 2035
Yalumba The Octavius has established a reputation as one of Australias icon Shiraz wines, an amazing feat considering the first release was the 1990 vintage. In addition to being sourced from a number of very old vineyards in the Barossa, The Octavius is matured in American oak octaves of 90 litres capacity. It is the only red wine in the world that is matured in such small barrels. The secret of the wine not becoming overpowered by the oak is that the wood is seasoned at Yalumba for eight years before the octaves are crafted. Yalumba is one of a select few wineries in the world who boast their own coopers practising the ancient craft of barrel making
High rainfall in the winter lead into a warm and dry spring, ensuring that the fruit got off to a healthy start. Vines produced smaller bunches and berries with grapes featuring great aromatics and pristine fruit flavours.
