OAKRIDGE 864 HAZELDENE PINOT NOIR
The Oakridge 864 range is a showcase of highly detailed micro-selections from the most exceptional single vineyard sites in the Yarra Valley. This Pinot Noir comes from the Hazeldene Vineyard in Gladysdale, a north-facing site at 180 metres elevation. Planted in 1998 with the renowned MV6 clone, the vineyard’s red volcanic soils and cool climate produce wines of precision, purity and depth. A vibrant Pinot Noir with lifted aromas of red berries, florals and a hint of mountain herbs. Layers of boysenberry, plum and subtle bramble add depth, while a touch of carbonic lift from whole-bunch fermentation enhances complexity. The palate is supple and expressive, with juicy red berries, just-ripe raspberries and plums gliding across fine, silky tannins. An elegant elasticity in texture brings both grace and persistence. Balanced, complex and full of energy, this is a Pinot Noir with real presence and length.
Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz
Yarra Yering is not only a Victorian icon, but a true Australian wine treasure. The Underhill Shiraz is sourced exclusively from the 1974 planted block of Shiraz at the western-most extremity of the vineyard. Drawn from soils with a higher clay base which has resulted in a wine of a more masculine bent offering darker fruits and spice with chewier tannins and a savoury undertone.

Oakridge 864 Winery Block Cabernet Sauvignon
Simply named from our address at Coldstream, the 864 range is a showcase of highly detailed micro-selections from the most exceptional single vineyard sites in the Yarra Valley. Sourced from the Oakridge Vineyard, Winery Block. Planted in the grey alluvial loams of Coldstream in 1996 to a mixed clonal selection. This is very composed, intense and aromatic. Spicy black fruit - blackcurrant and blackberry, hints of creme de cassis, wet tobacco, iodine, dried blood ferrous notes but with an underlying red fruited nuance. Dark cherry, dried raspberry and light leafy notes. The more you look, the more you see. The palate is decidedly medium bodied with the darker fruit flavours shining and adding to the sense of depth and texture while the red fruit characters add length and persistence. The flavours and complexity are framed by chamois like tannins with their light chalky-crunch and smooth long finish. Classic, fragrant, medium bodied Yarra cabernet that that is designed for a very long future.
