James Halliday – Other Reds & Blends of the Year. Score awarded by the Halliday tasting panel at the annual Awards judging. PR writes: A blend of 35/35/12/7/6/5% touriga nacional/tinta cão/tinta amarela/tinta roriz/alvarelhão/sousão, all sourced from 1990 plantings. A deserved winner of seven trophies across three shows last year, including being in the final Jimmy Watson lineup at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards for the second year in a row. From its brilliant crimson purple colour to aromas of satsuma plums, wild berries and spice, there's a lot to love. Concentrated and flavoursome, yet balanced and very long with persistent and subtle tannins attesting to a wine that will age beautifully over at least the next 10 years. – Panel Decision, August 2024

"Super lifted and complex on the nose - Lavender, satsuma plum and balsamic. Summer berries, plums and licorice spice of Touriga Naçional, the Tinta Cão brings bright and fragrant blue fruit energy. Tinta Roriz brings a savoury depth to the palate to compliment the Tinta Amarela’s floral and bay leaf herbal lift. To tie everything together the finesse of Alvarelhão and the acidity of the Sousão tightens, brightens and drives the long palate. Wonderfully complex and yet medium bodied.
Varietals
38% Touriga Naçional, 30% Tinta Cão, 10% Tinta Roriz, 10% Tinta Amarela, 6% Alvarelhão & 6% Sousão.
Region
Yarra Valley, Victoria.
Winemaking
The last fruit to be harvested from the vineyard. Hand-picked and destemmed together some parcels in a ‘field blend’ style retaining as many whole berries as possible. The first working of the must is with the feet as in a traditional lagar in Portugal to extract tannins from both skins and seeds. Gentle pressing
Vines
Fruit was sourced from 1990 New Territories planting of classic Portuguese grape varieties on a rocky terraced hillside."

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.
