Levantine Hill Glen Garvald Ornelias 2021 from the Yarra Valley is a Super‑Tuscan‑inspired blend that splices Cabernet Sauvignon’s serious frame with Sangiovese’s savoury twist, delivering a deeply coloured, modern Yarra red with real gravitas.

In the glass, this Glen Garvald Ornelias 2021 (around 80–81% Cabernet, 19–20% Sangiovese) shows a rare earthy, almost wild complexity over red and black fruits – think currants, mulberry, plum and sarsaparilla, laced with nutmeg, olive tapenade, maquis herbs and charred capretto notes. The dense yet elegant palate bursts with mulberry, blood orange, Amaretto, Szechuan pepper, black tea and cocoa powder, all carried on a fine acid line with graphitic, slowly building tannins and a subtle Cynar‑like bitter twist on the finish.

Levantine Hill Glen Garvald Ornelias 2021 is tailor‑made for the dinner table – think bistecca, grilled lamb, rich ragù, osso buco or gamey dishes where that savoury edge and firm structure can really flex, and with 10+ years’ cellaring potential it’s a brilliant candidate for the serious collector’s rack.
