About this wine

The remarkably individual and generous The Octavius Old Vine Shiraz is made from a selection of aged Shiraz vineyards scattered across the Barossa region. It combines the perfume and pure fruit aromas of the Eden Valley region and the concentration, texture and ripeness of Barossa Valley Shiraz. The Octavius has a compelling freshness and vinosity with superb dark chocolate, brambly, mocha aromas, silky, chalky tannins, underlying savoury oak and sustained dark chocolate, roasted chestnut, mocha flavours. Vinification takes place in six to eight tonne open top stainless steel fermenters. Indigenous or 'wild' yeasts initiate the fermentation and contribute to the individual complexities, richness and fine textures of the wine. Maturation takes place in Yalumba-coopered French and American octaves, barriques and hogsheads for around 22 months.
