Yalumba, The Octavius - Barossa Valley 2018

THE OCTAVIUS IS QUITE UNIQUE AS IT IS PRODUCED FROM VERY OLD SHIRAZ VINES, MOST OF THEM BEEING CENTENARIAN


TERROIR/PROVENANCE/REGION

Fruit for this wine is sourced from six vineyards across the Barossa, the oldest parcel of Shiraz is gently hand-picked from Eden Valley vines planted in 1854. With an average vine age of 111 years, 69% of this Shiraz is sourced from Eden Valley and 31% from the Barossa Valley. Eden Valley Shiraz provides the exotic aromatics and seamless palate structurewhile Barossa Valley Shiraz provides richness, density and concentration.



La propriété


Fondée en 1849, Yalumba est la plus ancienne propriété familiale d'Australie, transmise de génération en génération par la famille Hill-Smith, et qui reste farouchement indépendante.

La longévité et le succès de Yalumba découlent de la patience, de l'esprit d'équipe et d'une pensée novatrice. L'entreprise eut la vision d'exploiter au mieux son terroir pour créer des vins au caractère unique et avec une véritable raison d'être. Yalumba s'engage à partager ses origines, son histoire et ses 174 années d'expérience en matière de vinification familiale. Grâce à sa tonnellerie sur place, en activité depuis le début du XXe siècle et unique en son genre dans l'hémisphère sud, Yalumba a l'avantage de contrôler entièrement le chêne utilisé pour élaborer et vieillir ses vins haut de gamme.

Le millésime 2018

Conditions météorologiques

Un hiver pluvieux a apporté les conditions idéales pour le début de saison. Le printemps fut plus sec que la normale. Les vignes ont ainsi réagi rapidement en poussant vigoureusement, fleurissant abondamment, et en donnant naissance à un grand nombre de grappes. L'été fut marqué par des journées chaudes et sèches, accompagnées de nuits fraîches qui ont permis une maturation optimale des raisins tout en préservant la fraîcheur et l'acidité. le doux été Indien début mars a contribué à achever la maturation de ces raisins parfaitement équilibrés.

Notes de dégustation

D'une robe rouge profonde avec des nuances pourpres. Des arômes séduisants de cerises rouges foncées, de réglisse et de framboises rouges. Au niveau aromatique, ce vin se distingue par ses arômes de fruits rouges, bleus et de violette. Tout se combine en bouche pour offrir des saveurs généreuses, fraîches, riches, mariant la fraîcheur de la région d'Eden Valley à la profondeur de la région de Barossa Valley. Parfaitement équilibré, élégant, et tout simplement une magnifique expression du Shiraz de Barossa.

The oak is more restrained than you might imagine – this is, after all, named after the wood in which the wine is matured for nearly 2 years. Bright, fresh, quite lifted and both spicy but also crisp and enticingly herb tinged. A little vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, and clove, but also garrigue notes accompanying the baked plum, red cherry and plump red berry fruit. A second tasting reveals more black raspberry notes. Soft, fine-grained tannins and an immediately pleasing sense of tension between the richness and opulence of the fruit and the acidity and tannic grip which both contribute to draw the wine back to the spine as it evolves and stretches itself out over the palate. That gives this an impressive sense of structure, revealing its aging potential. Sapid and fresh on the finish.

Fragranced and aromatically complex on the nose - beguiling and totally captivating red berries, clove, vanilla, liquorice and wild herbs. This has an inky density to it, weighty and fully textured but with amazing purity of fruit. Bright and piercing acidity adds to the overall expression with tannins that are refined yet carry a sense of opulence and seduction. Clean and sleek, wide, full and mouthwatering with liquorice, cherry blossom and strawberry fruit all the way through. Delicious.

Coffee grounds, dark chocolate, mulberry compote and black olive tapenade lead the charge for this irrepressibly Australian Shiraz. Big bold forest berry flavors are effusive and almost gushing, held in check by the firm hand of tannic structure. Woodsy spices—sandalwood, particularly—punctuate the black cherry and salted licorice characters. This is really good, satisfying, mouthfilling, delicious. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.

The 2018 The Octavius Old Vine Shiraz comes 69% from the Eden Valley and 31% from the Barossa Valley, with the vines more than 100 years old on average. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with exuberant notes of black cherries, warm plums, and fruitcake with hints of licorice, lilacs, peppered salami, and tar. The full-bodied palate offers fantastic freshness and vibrancy, with a racy backbone and velvety tannins, finishing very long and very spicy.

Waves of charred sandalwood, white pepper, sage, liqourice root, juicy black fruits and balanced acidities giving plenty of freshness and a slow burn finish. You can already see just how slowly this wine ages, as even at 5 years old it is still very much in its primary phase, with muscular tannins that are confidently keeping everything in line. The fruit sourcing also reflects the drive towards fresher expression in what was a warm vintage, with 69% Eden Valley and 31% Barossa. Expertly navigated, picked a little earlier than many in the region. First vintage on the Place for this wonderful Shiraz. Ageing in 25% Yalumba coopered American octaves, 25% new French hogsheads, 6% Hungarian hogsheads. Winemaker Kevin Glastonbury, harvest February 15 to April 10.

It is with great joy that I can reveal that 2018 The Octavius is a stellar wine, worthy of its name,nodding to the past but striding with the utmost confidence into the future. It is heroic but not showy,dramatic but not theatrical and profound but not introverted. The fruit is tempered, and the carpentry,from whence it derives its unusual name, is entirely harmonious serving to heighten the kaleidoscopeof flavours instead of straight-jacketing them. 2018 is a triumphant vintage of The Octavius, and itseems fitting that this wine announces Yalumba’s arrival on the world stage. I do not doubt that thiswine will receive a standing ovation when a worldwide audience has the chance to taste it.

Old vine Barossan shiraz from a stellar vintage, boasting a lilt of damson, violet and black olive. Rich and lustrous, with a carriage of well wrought tannins directing solid length. The caveat, the eucalyptus across the finish. For some, this is a mark of Australiana. For others, such as myself, it is a drying agent. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

par David Sly le 04/04/2023

For so long a power-packed statement that celebrates the muscle of 100-year-old Barossa Shiraz, Octavius has dialled down the aggression in a vintage that provided fine tannins to support a more supple texture. It allows its big body to glide. With 69% of the fruit sourced from higher, cooler Eden Valley sites, there are bright blueberries among the Barossa Valley's blackberry grunt, rolling around a plush, velvety mid-palate. While oak is always a feature of this wine – after all, it’s named after eight-stave French oak barrels in which it matures (with other vessels) for 21 months – winemaker Kevin Glastonbury has calmed the meld so that a soft lick of vanilla adds finesse to a lush bed of luscious purple fruits with a hint of tobacco chew.

This 2018 Shiraz The Octavius, made from 67% Barossa Valley and 33% Eden Valley fruit, is a powerhouse and bold edition of Octavius thanks to its lashings of black cherry, blackberry, and new leather with subtle touches of pepper and sage. Bold yet manicured, it displays punchy sweet-fruited flavors with some savory meat stocks in the background, which will build in time. Firm tannins are nicely balanced over a long but closed finish suggesting this wine will be best enjoyed after at least a decade’s rest.

Yalumba, one of Barossa’s original winemakers with a history stretching back to 1849, remains a regional leader on a number of levels and an international flag bearer for Barossa. Yet, the company makes wines across South Australia. While always offering a broad range of wines under the custodianship of Robert Hill-Smith, recent years have seen increasing focus at the top end of the quality spectrum. With their home at Angaston in the Eden Valley, Yalumba, more than any other winery, promotes the more savory and elegant side of Barossa. Their leading wines are benchmarks, particularly the uniquely Australian blends of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, with their Viognier efforts, particularly the oak-fermented and matured Virgilius also worthy of note.
