Voted Winery of the Year at the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion Awards, Seville Estate produces wines of elegance & finesse.
When Dr Peter McMahon planted the first vines at Seville Estate in 1972, it marked the rebirth of the Yarra Valley as a premium wine region. By the end of the decade, Dr McMahon and his wife Margaret were producing wines that served to restore the well-established reputation the Yarra had enjoyed in the 19th century. Surprisingly in a region more renowned for its red wines produced from Cabernet and Pinot Noir, it was the Seville Estate Shiraz that received the most attention, quickly becoming one of Victoria’s most sought-after wines.
Peter and Margaret’s grandson, Dylan McMahon joined Seville Estate in 2000, and became the chief winemaker in 2004, following the passion ignited a generation before. The Reserve range is estate grown and made, expressing the very best wines from vintage and only released in exceptional years. The reserve wines are only produced in small quantities with fruit mainly sourced from our 1972 plantings. The wines are designed to have extended cellaring potential.
2019 was a great year for the later ripening varieties, Shiraz and Cabernet. The Cabernet was one of the highlights in 2019, the wine has great concertation and complexity that is layered with ripe structural tannins. The balance of flavour, savouriness, perfume and tannin are some of the best we have seen in the last 10 years. This will be a wine to appreciate with time.
