Yalumba's Octavius is one of the finest straight shiraz releases to come out of Australia. Named after the 100-litre 'octave' barrels that are made on site by Yalumba's Coopers, which the wine is then aged in for 1 year after spending 21 months in French oak. Vinted from a blend of old vine fruit from the Barossa and Eden Valley, this is rich, concentrated wine with dark berry fruit notes on the palate. Another excellent release from this iconic Australian producer.
