Yalumba THE OCTAVIOUS Old Vine Shiraz BarossaValley Description: Yalumba 'The Octavius' has established a reputation as one of Australia's icon Shiraz wines, an amazing feat considering the first release was the 1990 vintage. Yalumba's The Octavius was once again sourced from dry grown old bushvines that produced low crops of intensely rich and powerful Shiraz fruit. The resulting wine is dense red in colour with a complex nose of spice, pepper, fruitcake, coffee bean, violet and vanillin toasty oak. The palate is truly intense with concentrated layers of plum, licorice and black olives balanced by fine-grained tannins. This wine will see through to the long term and has at least 10 years of cellaring potential. In addition to being sourced from a number of very old vineyards in the Barossa, The Octavius is matured in American oak 'octaves' of only 90 litres capacity. It is the only red wine in the world that is matured in such small barrels. The secret of the wine not becoming overpowered by the oak, is that the oak used is seasoned at Yalumba for eight years before the octaves are crafted. Yalumba is one of a select few wineries in the world who boast their own coopers practising the ancient craft of barrel making. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £234.91

Yalumba NOBLE PICK Botrytis Semillon Eden Valley SouthAustralia Description: Dewy mornings, soft mists and the gentle warmth of the autumn sun on ripening grapes. Difficult conditions to fulfill but essential for the development of botrytis cinerea or noble rot; the essence of some of the great sweet wines of the world. Only when conditions are exactly right will bortrytis appear to cast its spell and, like nature's alchemist, turn the ordinary into gold. Semillon is the classic grape of Sauternes, its thick skin endowing it with a natural propensity to botrytis. The Yalumba Noble Pick Semillon is luscious and complex, with layers of lavender, honey, spice and marmalade-flavours. Made from the classic Sauterne variety of Semillon, the grapes stayed ripe on the vines until mid April when rains and dewy mornings initiated a good even botrytis infection. The following warm sunny days were perfect for its development and near-100% cover of the grapes. The Botrytis Semillon shows apricots, fresh lemons and orange peel, with a touch of passionfruit on the nose. The palate is long and luscious, with flavours of apricots, lavender, honey, spice and marmalade. The finish is fresh with long lingering flavours.
