Yalumba can be proud of a history which dates back to 1849 and FDR1A is a wine of great significance to Australia's eldest family owned winery. Fine Dry Red 1A is only ever released in the finest vintage years, a no expense spared project to construct the ultimate accord in Cabernet and Shiraz, stylized by one of the nation's most eminent, baronial winemaking estates. The quality of fruit is second to none, vinification is assigned to the most accomplished masters and the quality of oak is an indulgence representing the pinnacle of the cooper's trade.
Dark, intense red colour. Aromas of bright mulberry fruits supported by black cherry and anise, cedar and spice. Medium to full bodied, a complex and plushly textured wine, quite seamless with long, fine grainy tannins that reveal an elegance and refinement on the finish. An amazing level of approachability upon release, it's excellence of oak makes it the perfect red wine to serve as an accompaniment today alongside roast beef and bearnaise.
