This wine offers a compelling interplay of fragrance and structure. Aromas of violets, ripe plums, savoury spice, and wild bramble leap from the glass, creating a bouquet that entices both novice and seasoned wine drinkers. The palate is finely textured, with a core of dark fruit flavours, gently framed by soft tannins and a lingering finish of earthy spices and subtle oak.
While wonderfully approachable in its youth, the Agincourt Cabernet Malbec 2017 rewards patience. Under ideal cellaring conditions, this wine promises to evolve beautifully over the next 20+ years, making it a prime choice for collectors and those seeking an investment wine.

Winery | Although wine was an important industry in the Yarra Valley throughout the 1800s, by the 1920s, it had largely halted as farmers favoured the greater returns available from sheep farming. It took the vision of a now legendary plant physiologist and Roseworthy winemaking graduate, Dr Bailey Carrodus, to help re-establish the Yarra Valley as one of Australia’s pre-eminent wine regions. After several years of careful research, in 1969, he purchased land at the foot of the Warramate Hills and, in 1973, produced the first vintages of his now iconic Dry Red Wine No.1 and Dry Red Wine No.2. Dr Carrodus continued to make the wines until he died in 2008 when the winery was purchased by businessmen Ed Peter and Reid Bosward. Both long-term fans of Yarra Yering continue to honour the founder’s quest for elegance and sophistication, ably supported by winemaker Sarah Crowe, who in 2017 was named Winemaker of the Year by James Halliday. |
