60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc. The fruit is all hand- picked and sorted before gentle de-stemming and fermentation at cool temperatures to preserve lift and aromatic freshness. After 15 days on skins, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months of maturation before final blending and bottling.
All parcels were sourced from the Coldstream area, in the heart of the Yarra Valley. These north-facing vineyards sit on clay-based soils with layers of broken sandstone, offering excellent water retention and vine balance. Cabernet Sauvignon delivers structure and drive, Merlot adds plushness, while Malbec and Cabernet Franc bring aromatic lift and energy. The 2024 vintage has yielded a classic yet approachable Bordeaux blend—vibrant, elegant and fine-boned, with the kind of effortless drinkability.

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.
