Description

The 2022 Amphora Cabernet comes from a selection of vines planted on our A9 and A11 vineyards. These vines are close planted to a very good clone called WA Cape which has a rich history in some of Australia’s finest Cabernets. This clone produces deep, dark fruited Cabernet with very fine tannin.

The De Bortoli ‘Melba Vineyard’ at Dixons Creek has a rich history of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon dating back to the 1970’s. The 'Melba' brand pays tribute to renowned operatic soprano diva, Dame Nellie Melba with three premium Cabernet Sauvignons: Melba Vineyard, Melba Amphora and Melba Reserve.

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.
