At Ciavarella Oxley Estate you'll find some unique wines unobtainable elsewhere.
White Port
This is our 'one-of-a-kind' for port-lovers. It's made from the traditional Portuguese white port variety, verdelho, blended with our aucerot - the mystery grape found nowhere else in Australia and possibly nowhere else the world but at Ciavarella Oxley Estate. Absolutely unique, this luscious fortified is sweet and warm with flavours of raisins, dried fruit and almonds.
'We thought this would be a "cellar door only curio" for a small band of
white port die-hards - now it has an eager following of fans.'
Dolcino
Our Dolcino ('little sweet one') is a red wine with a difference. A sweet red wine with a surprisingly dry finish, it's made from a special cabernet-merlot blend that we worked hard to perfect. It's a great 'stepping stone' for those making the switch from whites to reds. Delightfully fruity, Dolcino is refreshing when served lightly chilled.
'Dolcino's appeal has reached a far wider audience than we ever anticipated.'
Durif
An august red wine with a big heart. Durif is grown virtually nowhere else in Australia but in the warmer pockets of North East Victoria. Whereas most Durifs have a 'take-no-prisoners' attitude, ours shows a welcome elegance rare to the grape. Expect powerful cherry and blackberry flavours with classic spice, leather, tobacco and some earthiness.
