Yarra Yering Agincourt 2020
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec
Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia.
Vines: Cabernet Sauvignon was first planted in the Agincourt block in 1995 and blended with Malbec planted in 1990. Today, the blend evolution includes modern Cabernet clones 412 and WA Cape.
Hand harvested; the Cabernet is destemmed, berry sorted, then crushed into half-tonne open fermenters. A small amount (5%) was whole bunch fermented for extra lift and perfume. Malbec is destemmed into small fermenters and hand plunged twice daily. Maturation in French Bordeaux-shaped barrels, 15% new oak to enhance the juicy fruit palate and immediate enjoyment.
"Matured in French barriques (15% new). A medium deep, bright crimson. Fragrant with aromas of damson plums, blackcurrants, cedar and violets. Medium bodied, this elegantly wrought and persistent wine finishes with very fine-grained and suave tannins suggesting this will age gracefully over the next six to eight years." 96 Points -
