Yalumba Family Vignerons: The Octavius Old Vine Shiraz
The Octavius Old Vine Shiraz
- Varieties: Shiraz
- Type: Red
- Region: Barossa Valley
- Alcohol Level: 13.5%
Tasting Note:
The aromatics show off its Eden Valley heritage, with fresh floral berry fruits and sweet dark cherries. The palate depth showcases the Barossa Valley, with dark, brooding chocolate, dark plum roundness and great concentration. The cool freshness of Eden Valley develops with the supporting acid and grainy tannin giving the wine structure for long term cellaring. Best to keep it locked away for at least 5 years, but if you do open, double decant and enjoy alongside a slow roasted lamb shank, or chargrilled cauliflower with fried butterbeans and pumpkin hummus.
