Drawn from the Egan family’s vineyard near Melbourne, it combines the estate’s traditional varieties in a wine shaped by its season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmelia’s early Cabernet and Merlot plantings are dry-farmed on clay soil, with Petit Verdot introduced later. This continuity of site gives a useful thread through the wine’s different vintages, including the structured 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot make up Amelia’s estate blending palette. Their contributions are adjusted with the season, preserving the wine’s Cabernet-blend identity without imposing a single recipe on every harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1963 by Reg and Bertina Egan, Wantirna Estate grew from the family’s interest in the vineyard wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Its small Yarra Valley property remains the source of the family-named range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Walsh’s release-era assessment, published by the estate, noted dark berries, violets, cedar and tobacco. Gravelly tannins and freshness gave the medium-bodied wine definition through a long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Wantirna Estate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWine: Amelia Cabernet Merlot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle size: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuggested pairings include roast beef, lamb or a slow-cooked red-meat dish.
