Oakdene is a boutique, family owned vineyard featuring a cellar door, restaurant, café, accommodation and gardens. Located on the stunning Bellarine Peninsula, the region’s cool maritime climate offers excellent conditions for producing low yields of high-quality fruit. 

A blend of 53/24/13/10% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc/merlot, hand picked and whole-bunch pressed. A bright but pale salmon pink. Summer red berries, a hint of white flowers and mountain herbs lead onto the palate, which is gently textured, dry and crisp – as it should be – on the finish. Really well made, and an absolute winner at this price. Drink to: 2026; Price: $24.00; Date Tasted: December 2023; Alcohol: 12.4%; Rating: 95 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
