Helen’s Hill Old Orchard Cabernets

Helen’s Hill Old Orchard Cabernets 2021, crafted by Scott McCarthy in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, delivers an alluring Bordeaux-style blend of dark berries, savoury herbs and refined structure. Blackcurrant richness meets cool-climate freshness, creating a generously flavoured yet elegant red with the depth to make a hearty dinner feel special.

Serve with rosemary-roasted lamb shoulder, chargrilled ribeye or slow-braised beef cheeks. Mushroom and lentil ragù makes another tempting partner, echoing the wine’s savoury character. The 2021 Helen’s Hill Old Orchard Cabernet blend brings enough fruit and structure to complement richer dishes without overwhelming the flavours on your plate.

Blackberry, cassis and raspberry aromas mingle with dried herbs, red capsicum and subtle oak spice. Cedar adds complexity, while bright acidity keeps the medium-bodied palate poised. Fine, slightly grainy tannins provide satisfying grip, carrying the dark fruit through a long finish that balances generosity with freshness.
