De Bortoli The Estate Vineyard Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background

De Bortoli, founded in 1928, is a family-owned winery recognised for producing premium cool-climate wines from Yarra Valley. The Estate Vineyard range highlights fruit from their Dixon’s Creek site, crafted to reflect elegance, balance, and regional character.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The Dixon’s Creek vineyard offers ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, with its cool climate and well-drained soils. The 2022 vintage was mild and steady, delivering fruit with fine tannins, deep colour, and vibrant aromatics.

Winemaking Process

Hand-picked grapes were fermented in small open fermenters with gentle plunging to extract flavour and structure. Post-fermentation, the wine matured in French oak barrels (a mix of new and seasoned) to enhance complexity and integration.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson red. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, violet and subtle cedar. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, featuring layers of dark fruits, savoury hints, fine tannins, and a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairing

Ideal with grilled lamb, roast beef, charcuterie or hard cheeses. Its balanced style also complements herb-crusted dishes and earthy vegetable-based meals.

Story Behind the Wine

The Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a classic Yarra Valley expression—structured yet elegant, combining dark fruit purity with fine tannins and understated oak for a poised and age-worthy wine.
