2019 Blue Pyrenees Estate Red – A Bordeaux blend from Victoria with depth, structure, and elegance

The 2019 Blue Pyrenees Estate Red from Blue Pyrenees Estate is a prime example of the power and finesse of Australian red wines from the Pyrenees region in Victoria. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec comes from the estate’s finest plots and was aged for over 18 months in French and American oak. The result: a powerful, aromatically complex, yet elegant blend that has won multiple international awards.

What makes the 2019 Blue Pyrenees Estate Red so special?

This blend pays homage to classic Bordeaux cuvées, but with an Australian twist: more sun, more fruit, more expression. The individual grape varieties were fermented and aged separately before being blended into a harmonious whole after 18 months of barrel aging. The Estate Red has been awarded numerous gold medals and trophies—including “Best Red Wine” and “Best Bordeaux Blend” at the 2023 Ballarat Wine Show. A wine for connoisseurs, collectors, and special occasions.

So, how does the 2019 Blue Pyrenees Estate Red taste?

In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby red color with garnet-red highlights. The nose is caressed by aromas of dark currants, violets, blueberries, and cedarwood. On the palate, an intense fruitiness unfolds with ripe cassis, blue berries, subtle herbal notes, and supportive, well-integrated oak. The tannins are fine-grained and structured, and the finish is long and elegant—a characterful Australian red wine with great aging potential.
