Yalumba Rare & Fine Collection 2026 Release – New vintage & Museum The Caley & Octavius

When it comes to the finest examples of the iconic Australian red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, few wineries can match or come close to Yalumba.
Yalumba The Caley Cabernet Shiraz, the house flagship, is justifiably regarded as one of the very best examples in Australia.  If you want to understand how these two grapes can weave their respective charms to perfection – The Caley is the wine that delivers all the answers with unrivalled authority.
Yalumba The Octavius Shiraz is the second flagship red of the estate, showcasing to stunning effect the tradition of blending Shiraz fruit from several great vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valleys.
A couple of weeks ago,  the AWC team had the privilege of tasting both wines with Yalumba Winemaker, Head of Sustainability and Global Brand Ambassador Louisa Rose.  The team were mightily impressed with the two new release vintages of The Caley 2021 and The Octavius 2019. We are now accepting order requests for these two exceptional wines. Also available in may are the Museum release 2016 The Caley and 2016 The Octavius.
