Tasting Notes
Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc. Made from estate grown vines, this medium bodied wine has a classic cassis aroma with an intensely juicy palate, great persistence of flavour and li; smacking acidity. Although perfect for immediate enjoyment it will continue to evolve and reward for 8 ‚– 10 years. This is baby Yarra Yering Dry Red #1 basically. It's from the vineyard directly adjacent to YY#1 and planted only one year after. It's 100% dry grown and it's really hit it's straps. Classically showing cassis and black currant with mulberry and a lovely, lively perfumed nose it leaps from the glass with medium-bodied charm. There is structure here albeit elegantly so with terrific tannins and mouth-watering acidity. And with a relatively low alcohol it makes for a very nice drink indeed -Jeremy Oliver
Making wines from estate grown grapes planted on the north facing slopes of the Warramate Ranges overlooking the magnificent Yarra Valley. Small quantities of premium quality handcrafted Riesling, Cabernet Merlot, Pinot Noir and Shiraz wines from vines that are now over 40 years old. From the beginning, the vines have been 'dry-grown', without irrigation, and hand-pruned and hand harvested. The vineyard is managed with a strong emphasis on sustainability; mulching and green crop manures are standard practice and there is no irrigation. Organic methods are scientifically trialled and used wherever possible. The wines were originally made by Jack Church. In 2000, his son David Church took over as chief winemaker having obtained a degree in Wine Science from Charles Sturt University. In March 2011 Warramate was sold to This Century Pty Ltd. Followers of Yarra Valley Wines for many years, this independantly owned company have every intention of fully respecting the style of wines created by the Church family over the past 40 years. The Warramate philosophy is to make the highest quality wines from excellent estate fruit in a sustainable manner.
