Description

Yalumba The Octavius has established a reputation as one of Australia's icon Shiraz wines, an amazing feat considering the first release was the 1990 vintage. In addition to being sourced from a number of very old vineyards in the Barossa, The Octavius is matured in American and French oak 'octaves' of 100 litre capacity. It is the only red wine in the world that is matured in such small barrels. The secret of the wine not becoming overpowered by the oak lies in the wood which is seasoned at Yalumba's own on-site cooperage for three to five years before the octaves are crafted. Yalumba is one of a select few wineries in the world who boast their own coopers practising the ancient craft of barrel making.

The 1998 vintage in the Barossa was nothing short of outstanding.
Near-perfect growing conditions saw grapes achieve maximum ripeness Yalumba's The Octavius 1998 was once again sourced from
dry grown old bushvines that produced low crops (1-2 tonne/acre) of Winemaker Kevin Glastonbury intensely rich and powerful Shiraz fruit. The resulting wine is dense red in colour with a complex nose of spice, pepper, fruitcake, coffee bean, violet Harvested April 1998 and vanillin toasty oak. The palate is truly intense with concentrated layers
of plum, licorice and black olives balanced by fine-grained tannins. This Oak Treatment 22 months in American wine will see through to the long term and has at least 10 years of cellaring oak octaves coopered
potential.
Alc/Vol 14.5%
Total Acid 7.2 g/L
