The 2017 Seville Estate Reserve Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon is a flagship Yarra Valley Cabernet crafted from the estate’s original 1972 plantings, highlighting the depth and structure that mature vines can deliver. Produced only in exceptional vintages, the wine reflects Seville Estate’s cool-climate philosophy, combining concentrated dark fruit with savoury complexity, fine tannins and long cellaring potential. Careful French oak maturation adds polish and detail while preserving varietal purity and regional character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely structured tannins and balanced acidity, delivering flavours of blackcurrant, dark cherry and red berry fruits layered with cocoa, cedar, tobacco leaf and subtle spice. The texture is firm yet elegant, with savoury oak and earthy complexity building through a long, focused finish. The mature vine fruit brings added concentration and depth while retaining freshness and restraint typical of premium Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon for customers who enjoy structured cool-climate reds with savoury complexity and long-term ageing potential. The old vine fruit adds intensity and layered detail while Seville Estate’s restrained style keeps the wine balanced and elegant. Drinking beautifully with decanting now and capable of evolving further over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with roast lamb, ribeye steak, beef Wellington or aged hard cheeses.
