De Bortoli Melba Amphora Cabernet 2019

 


Everyone is having a crack at Amphora it seems. This Cabernet from De Bortoli Wines is a ripper! Sourced from the Melba vineyard, it was released to celebrate the 160th anniversary of Dame Nellie Melba. Don't underestimate Yarra Valley Cabernet. If anything, you should seek it out.

Svelt, dancy, pretty, this spent 150 days on skins and 150 days in seasoned French oak. Pure fruit expression, roasted and charred peppers and blackcurrants provide the highlights. A little leafiness, dried thyme and marjoram put their shoulder to the wheel adding further layers of interest. Medium-bodied, this is terrifically balanced and those tannins keep you coming back for more. An excellent wine.
