About this Wine

Oakridge Original Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, from the Yarra Valley region in Victoria. Planted in 1978 on gravelly clay loams in Wandin, this historic single-site legend bursts with fragrant aromas of cassis, violets, hawthorn, blackcurrant leaf, cedar and subtle graphite that pull you straight in. On the palate, the Oakridge Original Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 glides with fine-boned elegance, dark berry concentration, old-vine creaminess, tobacco nuances and gently chewy fine-grained tannins, all poised by bright acidity for 10-15 years’ cellaring magic.

Maturing 15 months in French barriques (35% new), pair it with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, chargrilled venison or porcini ragù to unleash those savoury fruit layers into feast perfection. A benchmark Yarra Cabernet of purity and finesse with 97 Points from Halliday Wine Companion – this structured beauty demands your cellar now.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
