About this wine
Seville Estate Old Vines Reserve Shiraz, Yarra Valley
The Seville Estate Reserve range is estate grown and made, expressing the very best of each vintage and only released in exceptional years. Reserve wines are made in small quantities using fruit sourced mainly from original 1972 plantings. The wines are designed to have extended cellaring potential.
Grapes are hand-picked and vineyard-sorted, open-fermented on wild yeasts with a whole bunch component that integrates earthiness and savouriness. Up to 30 days on skins is followed by 10 months in used French oak. Typically a rich, powerful wine yet also light on its feet, with precise red and black fruits, pepper and spice and oak inputs. Tannins are structured but fine and acidity gives freshness. A complex and lifted style that will improve with cellaring. Under 100 dozen made each year.

Dr. Peter McMahon, who shared a medical practice with Dr. John Middleton of Mount Mary fame, established Seville Estate. The winery was sold to Brokenwood in 1997 but it has once again changed hands in 2005. However, the winemaker is Dr. Peter McMahon’s grandson Dylan McMahon. The vineyards are located at the southern end of the Yarra Valley on very red volcanic soils over clay. The vineyards are quite vigorous, although viticultural management encourages low yields. Seville Estate Shiraz – their only wine with any secondary market presence – is a more restrained style, with a highly defined fruit profile, texture and balance, underscored by the vanillin flavours of American oak. Seville Estate Old Vine Reserve Shiraz, Old Vine Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Old Vine Pinot Noir are the current flagships. The range follows the contemporary idea of having a three tiered product offering. Seville Estate only has a nominal presence on the secondary market. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's
