Winemaker Notes
Brick red with pale hue. Nose of spice, black pepper, cherry and earth. Palate shows nice interplay of fruit and earth with black cherry, pepper, clove and rosemary. Some smoked meat flavors follow.

Wine Spectator
Lithe, focused and distinctive, with meat, mineral and peppery elements draped over the plum and blackberry fruit, coming together smoothly on the finish against lightly gritty tannins. Has depth and presence.
Seville Estate is the ultimate quiet achiever in Australian wine, making very little noise but continually producing benchmark wines. Dr. Peter McMahon planted the vines in 1972, marking a rebirth in the Yarra Valley as a serious and quality wine region. By the end of the decade they, along with Mt. Mary, Yarra Yering and Yeringberg, had made the Australian wine drinking public take notice of the Yarra Valley.
Now grandson Dylan McMahon is at the helm as winemaker and the wines have never been stronger. Seville Estate continues to fashion dry, austere, mineral and acid driven Chardonnay, along with structured, herbal and spice laden Pinot Noir's and Shiraz.Yarra.
