Subtle structural palate with slow-building fruit washing over the bed of youthful gravelly tannins. Blood plum, blackberry leaf, jamon Iberica, cedar, cassia bark and charry oak characters feature on the lengthy palate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine making: \u003c\/strong\u003eGrapes sourced from blocks of east-west orientated rows on our Maroondah Highway vineyard. Hand-picked and sorted, the fruit was destemmed, crushed and tipped directly to small open vats. A considered amount of stalks were added back to complement aroma, complexity and tannin. Fermentation and cuvaison was conducted for 14 to 21 days with the ferment temperature reaching 32°C. Vats were hand-plunged or pumped-over a maximum of once per day. The wine underwent 22 months of oak maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevantine Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e has been recognized as the #2 winery in Australia in The Real Review’s 2026 Top Wineries of Australia, one of the country’s most respected benchmarks of wine quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis recognition reflects the consistency, precision and uncompromising standards found across our entire portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is part of that same pursuit of excellence, crafted from our Yarra Valley vineyards and recognized among the finest wines in Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is suitable for vegans. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e750 ml bottle\u003cbr\u003e12.5 alc\/vol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riviera Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50432945750119,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/3646\/3719\/files\/levantine-hill-levant-cabernet-bottle.png?v=1791829899","url":"https:\/\/rivierawineco.com\/products\/levantine-hill-levant-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"Riviera Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
