Wantirna Estate hasn’t got where it is today by being a slave to fashion. Reg and Bettina Egan were, as James Halliday puts it, “among the early movers in the rebirth of the Yarra Valley”. Back in 1963 when they established the domain, you might perhaps have accused them of being trend-setters. Not since, though. The parameters are set by the boundaries of the Egans’ property, and a vineyard planted to those grapes which, time has shown, this region grows to most distinguished effect. Moreover, philosophy holds change in check. This is and always has been an enterprise that strives for profound and lasting stimulation. Time is treasured here, and small is certainly beautiful. In an era of fast fashion and bigger is better, the Egans appear to buck just about every trend going. They’re dictated to solely by the season and their vines, and by a deep and abiding love of great wine.

2019 Amelia Cabernet Merlot
Usually $95 - Special Offer $85
One of my most favourite wines.
Blackcurrant, blackberry, sarsaparilla/liquorice pastille, so much violet here, and spiced cedar oak. Medium-bodied, dark fruit with some redcurrant in the mix, tobacco and pencils, a little chew to gravelly tannin, fresh too, with a firm long finish. Delivers so much flavour without being heavy. Beautiful.
