2020 Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Sauvignon/merlot

The quality of the cabernet family grapes was probably the highlight of the year that was 2020! Unfortunately, the quantity was really quite horrible and just two barrels were made. The composition was approximately 68% cabernet sauvignon, 17% cabernet franc / merlot and 15% petit Verdot. So small was the petit verdot crop that we had to knock the end out of a barrel to ferment the grapes in!

The 2020 Amelia is a refined wine, balanced in weight and with really lovely tannins. A terrific example of Yarra Valley cabernet. 2 barrels only made.
