The perfect introduction to the astute winemaking that is William Downie's signature.

The wine smells of dark plums, black cherry, blackcurrant and pomegranate molasses as well as poached pears, mace and five spice. It is dense and complex with a very well structured palate that also shows lots of red and dark berry fruits and a savoury minerality. While the wine is not intended for long term cellaring it will benefit from 3 to 5 years rest.  

The 2025 season was one of the best in recent memory. The season got off to a very early start with dry but not hot conditions through until harvest. Yields were good but not excessive and grapes ripened very well without high sugar levels. The wines from 2025 are all deep in colour, complex and very well structured. This year’s Cathedral is approximately 70% King Valley, 20% Yarra Valley and 10% Upper Goulburn.

This is very likely the best version of Cathedral made so far.
