The 2019 vintage provided ideal conditions to pursue the second instalment of our Optume Cabernet Sauvignon. Grapes were sourced from select premium sites located across the Yarra Valley with the express intention of creating a cool-climate, single-varietal, classic ‘claret’ style of Cabernet Sauvignon of exceptional regional character and typicity, reminiscent of the pioneering wines that forged the Yarra Valley’s enviable reputation. This assemblage of sites combines their intrinsic strengths and expressions to deliver the optimum, a complete and superlative wine, greater than the sum of its parts.

The wine features brooding restrained fruit characters of cassis, bramble, blackberry leaf, sumac, tarragon and dark chocolate with complexing savoury elements of bergamot, bay leaf, sandalwood and leather. Suppleness on the palate combines with flavours of cranberry, smoked paprika, cocoa nib, hazelnut and cassia. The silky texture and juicy flavours intertwine on the poised youthful palate, rewarding repeat visits as the regal tannin layers accumulate on the finish with immense length and persistence. This

Available as single bottles in individual gift boxes, or in limited edition 6 pack cases.
