A well developed Red Wine, made in the cool Eden Valley. Rich in dark fruits and spice, will perfectly accompany a beef fillet, rich cheddars, peking duck or a vegetarian lasagne.
From the Winery
In 1974 Yalumba created an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz blend known simply as Fine Dry Red 1A. The wine became a legend in winemaking circles, appreciated for its fruit expression and restrained power. Sourced from exceptional sites within the cool rugged slopes of Eden Valley, FDR1A is a testament to winemaking and viticultural craftsmanship.
"The palate is medium to full bodied in style; this is a very fine and elegant wine layered with sweet fruit complexity. It shows a plush and seamlessly textured palate that is complete with long, fine and powdery tannins"
Matured for 16 months in 32% new French oak barriques, 24% in 1 year old French barriques, and the balance in older French and American barrels.
