HIGH SCORE

The lithe palate shows impressive intensity, black cherries joined spiced red cherries and subtle cooking spices. With excellent tannins and a long finish, this wine would suit a wide range of foods, such as wallaby fillets with mushroom XO sauce or washed rind cheeses.

Framed by ripe, moderate tannin the sweet strawberry fruit is complemented but not dominated by spice.

Silky and ethereal with beautiful shape, flow and balance. There is great purity and elegance in the delicate, red and black berry fruits that are supported by florals and briar spice. The finish is long and memorable.

Richly layered dark fruits provide a dense core with earthy undertones, Christmas cake and sweet tea driving vibrancy and length. A beautifully structured wine showing both power and finesse. Will reward cellaring.

The basalt based underlying volcanic soil and rock produce a characteristically fine yet extended, spicy and firm palate.

On the palate – dry, tense, youthful,fruity and young.

Lifted aroma of dewy rose petal, sour cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and ripe red berry fruits, exotic spices with a subtle gamey truffle finish. Pure, focused and precise with great length, texture and persistence.

These slowly-ripened grapes develop pure fruit flavours, fresh natural acidi ty and are perfect for making world class cool-climate wines.

Low yields, gently plunged twice a day, touch of whole bunch, 12 months in oak – red and blue fruits, hint of earthiness, graphite-like tannin

The palate is finely layered opening with fleshy pure fruit, a silky texture, fine tannins and an elegant palate. It has wonderful persistence of flavour and excellent potential for long term cellaring.

Soft entry to the palate, with dark fruit characters supported by ripe tannins. Oak is noticeable at this early stage but it adds plenty of complexity.

The 2020 Seville Estate Yarra Valley Pinot Noir has a vivid crimson colour, with lifted aromas of dark cherry, spice and lees complexity. Fine savoury tannins and a soft acid give an elegant finish.

“80% whole bunch vinification may not appeal to all, but I am more than happy with the forest floor and soaring spices. 100% new French oak was justified, and has been almost entirely absorbed by the fruit.".

Bright, medium red. Exotic dark fruits, spice and flowers.

Perfumed floral notes abound amongst a background of dark fruits, Indian spice and a savoury earthiness.

Australia’s oldest Pinot Noir vineyard, planted in 1921 by Maurice O’Shea.Only produced in exceptional years.

Great concentration of flavours and natural tannin structure.After discovering Yarra Valley wines 25 years ago Lou Primavera planted this vineyard in Hoddles Creek in 2001. We have a long-standing relationship with the Primavera family - having sourced fruit from the vineyard for some years. Testament to the increasing quality of this site, we are now producing a single vineyard Pinot Noir from Primavera.

The front palate shows the cherry and strawberry fruit characters. There is a silky texture and wonderful balance running through the mid palate, with the quality French oak adding subtle charry characters. The tannins are fine and balanced, combining with a tight acid structure to give a long, lingering and powerful finish. The light gaminess adds complexity, which will continue to develop with age.
