A Cabernet Sauvignon with elegance, concentration and finesse. Yarra Ridge has made the most of the best fruit which the Yarra Valley can produce, treating the wine to the most exacting standards of vinification, followed by a lengthy maturation under the finest selection of oaks.
Grapes grown to warmer vineyards at the foothills of the Yarra Valley form the backbone of fruit. These sites are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon with ripe flavours and the finest tannins. The cooler aspects of sites at the upper altitudes of the Yarra Valley encourage the late ripening Cabernet Sauvignon to develop slowly and evenly while maintaining natural fruit acidity. The parcels are inoculated and vinified in a range of fermentation vessels to create differing textural components. The parcels were pressed off skins and racked into a combination of prior use French and American oaks for twelve months maturation. The barrels are assessed and assembled into the final wine. Approx 14.3%
TASTING NOTES
Deep purple in colour. Aromas of lifted violet and blackcurrant, leafyness, more complex dark berry fruit, strokes of cocoa and buttery oak. Dark and penetrative, assertively fruit driven and fresh, ready to enjoy immediately upon release and certain to develop beautifully.

More About Yarra Ridge Winery
Since its inception in 1988, Yarra Ridge has become one of the most successful vineyards in the Yarra Valley
Yarra Ridge was the brainchild of a lawyer, Louis Bialkower, who bought the land in 1982. The following year, Louis planted five hectares to Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The reputation of Yarra Ridge grew, and from 1989 to 1995 every vintage of Yarra Ridge Chardonnay that was shown at wine competitions claimed a trophy. Yarra Ridge»
