The De Bortoli ‘Melba Vineyard’ at Dixons Creek has a rich history of producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, with the first plantings dating back to the 1970s. The 'Melba' brand pays tribute to the renowned operatic soprano, Dame Nellie Melba. The 2018 vintage was one of the best for Cabernet in the Yarra Valley in recent years, delivering wines with balance, structure, and exceptional ageing potential.

”Deep, rich colour with tints showing development; the bouquet has peaty/nori, soy-sauce and wood-oil nuances that reflect some bottle-age, while the palate is full-bodied and rich, layered and deep, with a winning balance of fruity and savoury aspects, the aftertaste lingering long after the wine is gone. Very stylish wine, elegant and persistent. It's developing in an encouraging direction.”
