Levantine Hill is located in Victoria’s Yarra Valley and is one of Australia’s most premium wine producers. A family-owned estate comprising two vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery, cellar door, and highly awarded restaurant, its wines are handcrafted without compromise by renowned Australian winemaker Paul Bridgeman. With a stated ethos of producing cool climate, and delicate and refined wines of uncompromising quality, Levantine Hill has established a world-class reputation, winning many major international awards and the acclaim of leading wine experts.
Known as the “impossible wine” because of the steepness of the land from which its fruit was grown, the presence of underground, rocky seams, and outcrops that were thought to be insurmountable. In keeping with the traditional varieties of Bordeaux, this wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
This fifth vintage of our flagship signature red blend epitomises our commitment to honour and reflect the finest examples of the classic Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines upon which our region’s enviable reputation was forged and cemented. Vegan.
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2%, Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec
It features brooding restrained fruit characters of red currant, blackberry, bramble, pink peppercorn, and sage leaf with complexing savoury elements of clove, cedar, and cigar box. Suppleness on the palate combines with a defined ferrous character and flavours of berry compote, smoked meats, Szechuan pepper, and cocoa nib.
