Arrives immediately on song and ready to go with lively fruit qualities to the fore. The aroma comes filled in black cherries, berries and plum edged in sweet herbals, dusty cocoa and background smoked charcuterie and black olive notes. Juicy fresh and easy to love and enjoy which is in keeping with the new ‘e range winemaking philosophy. The e’Stellar Estate is the melding of two historic Yarra Vineyards – Dixons Creek Estate and Mandala Vineyard – now owned by the Casella family. Inspired by the family’s Italian heritage expect a nod to an Italian style red in this young blend with its light savouriness and sinewy, dry tannins.
