Description

This exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on the Melba Vineyard and pays tribute to the Australian opera diva Dame Nellie Melba! The Melba Amphora has allowed De Bortoli to push the boundaries by integrating ancient winemaking techniques with modern thinking.

It is about finding the perfect medium for pure expression of the vineyard.

Review
Deep red with purple in the rim; a complex bouquet of cedar, cigarbox, cassis and flake tobacco, the palate full bodied and elegant, stately and savoury, with abundant fine-grained and insistent tannins and driving length. A very elegant, suave kind of cabernet, and true to its Yarra origins. It's delicious now but has an assured future if cellared.
