YALUMBA OCTAVIUS 2014

Yalumba Octavius is a premium red wine from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. It is made from 100% Shiraz grapes, carefully handpicked from the estate's oldest and most revered vines. The wine is aged in old oak barrels before being transferred to small, specially-made oak octaves, which are 100-litre barrels that impart a unique character to the wine. The result is a complex and intense wine with aromas of dark berries, vanilla, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich with flavors of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and a touch of smokiness. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing an elegant structure to the wine. Yalumba Octavius is a wine of exceptional quality and craftsmanship, representing the pinnacle of Yalumba's winemaking tradition. It is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses and will continue to improve with proper cellaring for many years to come.
