2022 Optume Cabernet Sauvignon [Pre-Release]

The 2022 vintage provided ideal conditions for the second release of Optume Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit was sourced from select premium sites across the Yarra Valley to create a classic cool-climate Cabernet of exceptional regional character, inspired by the pioneering claret styles that helped establish the region’s reputation. Brooding yet restrained, the wine shows cassis, bramble and blackberry leaf alongside tarragon, dark chocolate, bergamot, bay leaf, sandalwood and leather. The palate is supple and finely poised, with cranberry, cocoa nib, hazelnut and warm spice woven through silky texture and layered tannins. The finish is long, persistent and beautifully composed. Suitable for vegans. Decanting while young is highly recommended. Available for shipping from 1 October. Each individually numbered bottle of Optume is presented in a bespoke presentation box and accompanied by a custom Optume key, creating a distinctive collector’s presentation worthy of the wine inside.
