- TASTING NOTE: On the nose, bright and flinty, oyster shell, grapefruits, pears and lemongrass, a hint of vanillan oak. On the palate, a citrus energy drives the palate with a pithy interest and texture on the back palate. An extremely fine grained oak tannin framework lingers on the finish.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Hand harvested grapes are whole bunch pressed and left to settle before being transferred to French oak barrels; some 228L barriques and some 500L puncheons, 30% new oak. Both wild yeasts and cultured yeast were allowed to carry out the fermentation offering complexity and a hint of struck match. Natural acidity was retained by inhibiting malolactic fermentation. Matured for 10 months before blending and bottling.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Dr Bailey Carrodus began planting the site that would become Yarra Yering at the foot of the Warramate Hills in 1969. The first vintage was produced in 1973 of Dry Red Wine No.1, a Bordeaux inspired blend and Dry Red Wine No.2, a northern Rhone blend. The vineyard that would go on to become one of the best in the Yarra Valley had arrived. Yarra Yering quickly gained an international reputation for quality and individuality and for the next 35 years Dr Carrodus made his wines to great critical and commercial success. Dr Carrodus died at home in September 2008 and the vineyard was subsequently sold to two businessman, both passionate Yarra Yering fans. They have continued to operate this iconic vineyard with the same philosophy. Frequently named among the top Yarra Valley wineries, Yarra Yering’s proud tradition is being continued to great acclaim by current winemaker Sarah Crowe.
