Description
Planted in 1969, the unirrigated vines at our Yarra Valley vineyard produce elegant, complex and powerful wines. Approachable as young wines, they have the ability to develop in the bottle for many years. Yarra Yering is one of Australia’s most iconic wineries with an outstanding international reputation.
Winemaking: Hand harvested small section of the Shiraz vineyard for this wine, destemmed into a 600kg fermenter for fermentation, hand plunging and basket pressed to two new tight grained French oak barrels for 20 months maturation. Bottled via gravity without filtration.
Awards: 98 Points: James Halliday, Wine Companion | 97 Points: Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine
Tasting Note: Pretty violet perfume, ripe plum fruit and pepper spice. The palate has amazing density of fruit and weight with pepper spices. A framework of chary oak tannins in balance with the fruit surround the intense plum fruit and liquorice spiced flavour and layered texture. Drinking beautifully at present and will evolve for a further 20 years under suitable cellaring conditions.
