2023 Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec

The Agincourt is Yarra Yering’s take on a classic Aussie Claret, and it’s also the wine you’ll want to reach for while the big hitters are tucked away in the cellar.

Sourced from vines planted in the early ’90s, this 80/20 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec is all about balance and effortless drinkability. Cabernet brings its signature dark fruits, leafy aromatics and cool-climate finesse, while the Malbec adds plush texture and a juicy, purple-fruited mid-palate. It’s a seamless combo, handled gently by winemaker Sarah Crowe and aged in mostly seasoned oak to keep the fruit front and centre.

Medium-bodied, polished and complete, this is the most immediately delicious of Yarra Yering’s reds.

A perfect snapshot of elegant, early-drinking Cabernet from one of Australia's great vineyards.

"Beautiful flavour and balance, all delivered with great elegance. Delicious wine which already drinks superbly, and will no doubt do so for many years."

"Good depth on the medium-bodied, finely tuned and gently crunchy palate. Lingers nicely and will give pleasure earlier than the '22."
