Yarra Valley Cabernet from cool-climate slopes; structured tannins, site-driven minerality.
Freyja's Tears sources fruit from Yarra Valley's elevated eastern slopes, where cool nights and well-drained gravelly loam soils slow ripening and concentrate phenolic maturity. The vineyard's aspect—facing northeast—captures morning sun while afternoon cloud cover moderates heat stress, a critical factor in this maritime-influenced subregion 50 km northeast of Melbourne.
The wine undergoes traditional Cabernet fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with extended maceration to extract tannin structure without over-extraction. Post-fermentation aging in French oak (proportion and duration unspecified in available data) adds complexity while preserving varietal definition.
The result is a medium-bodied expression built on Yarra Valley's signature combination of ripe cassis with mineral tension—a direct reflection of cool-climate phenolic development rather than oak-driven softness.
Drinking window: 2024–2032. Best served at 16–18°C to allow tannin integration and aromatic lift.
Sommelier’s pick: Grilled lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic · Beef short ribs braised in red wine reduction · Roasted duck breast with cherry gastrique
