Oakridge are well known for their white wine styles, especially their Chardonnay, but don't forget the Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that can do so well. Lovely lifted spice; bright and attractive cassis fruit and layers of fine grained tannin will greet the drinker and will be welcomed by any serious Cabernet lover.

A selected blend of cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon from our premium vineyard sites. Fermented over four weeks, matured in French oak for 15 months and displaying classic Yarra Valley Fragrance and depth of flavour.

Made by 5-star Halliday Winery Oakridge these Over the Shoulder wines offer excellent value for money. Dry, textural and crunchy with pristine pear flavours, this is a refreshing alternative to NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

Very fine persistent bead. Straw coloured and vibrant, fresh hue. Fruit aromas of pear flesh and grilled grapefruit intermingle with brioches and freshly baked sourdough. Light toasty elements and slight yoghurt notes add complexity and depth. The palate is creamy and textural with delicate web of acidity interwoven throughout. Cream, yeast, granny smooth apples and butter pastry flavours flow along before finishing with a preserved lemon-like tang.

Simply named from our address at Coldstream, the 864 range is a showcase of highly detailed micro-selections from the most exceptional single vineyard sites in the Yarra Valley. Sourced from the Henk Vineyard, Aqueduct Block. Planted in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock in 2008 using the Dijon clone 95. Fermented then matured in French oak barrels (20% new) on its gross lees for 10 months followed by a further six months in tank before bottling. Complex from the outset - struck match, white nectarine, fennel seed, white flowers, lime skin and dried pear. The impression is of it being crystalline and almost floral. The flavours carry over on to the palate with background flecks of mineral, the subtlest notes of toast and vanilla bean. This is taught and linear but with a glassy texture which carries the wine to a long persistent finish. Refined mod-Oz destined for the long haul.

While mainly known for his extraordinary Chardonnay, Dave Bicknell's Cabernet's continue to fly under the radar of most when thinking of Victoria's greatest cool-climate red wines. This is great for those who wish to keep this little secret a secret for a while longer, but rest assured word will get out as the purity and power of this 864 Cab is something to behold. Minimal, but expert techniques are employed to deliver a Cabernet that is built for the long haul, yet is wonderfully enjoyable in its youth.

The team at Oakridge are going from strength to strength these days and they are taking the Over The Shoulder range with them. Dry maraschino cherry and gently gamey yet clean mouthful of delicious Pinot! Really great finishing length for this sort of price!

Oakridge Over the Shoulder Cabernet Merlot is bold fruit driven and mouth filling, this wine combines old world style with contemporary wine making techniques.

The Vineyard Series matches particular varieties with specific sites to gi ve you outstanding examples of single v ineyard wines. This wine was sourced from the north-facing Henk Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock. VINTAGE 2021 - A long, cool growing season with average crops and abundant rainfall has resulted in wines with outstanding varietal flavour and purity. A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine 80% whole berr y fermentation with 20% whole bunch inclusion in open vessels for two weeks followed by a 10 month maturation in French oak barrels. Deep crimson red with a garnet hue in appearance. Strong berry fruited aromatics leap from the glass, wild strawberry and red currant transcends to dark cherry and pomegranate. Notes of whole bunch spice and tones of earth add layers and complexity that evolve over time. The palate is medium bodied with a dense and powerful core of red fruit that flows along a soft line of acidity . Well handled soft and velvety tannins are layered within the fruit . Complimentary notes of brown spice and earth add another dimension. Powerful, long and vibrant.

Not your traditional Pinot Gris here. Skin contact (2months) lends complexity and depth, alongside its ruby colour. Expect tropical fruit and loads of pears and apples.
