Yalumba The Octavius Old Vine Shiraz 2018 blanc Ageing is done in barrels

Ageing is done in barrels of one to three years old for 20 months and the resulting wine is remarkably perfumed fresh and bright giving a violet perfume so typical of the very best Cabernet franc with fine silky tannins and bright fresh brambly fruit

Supple and soft on the palate

The wine is matured in concrete tank
