Tasting Notes
Hand harvested, destemmed and individual berry sorted before being crushed into our Yarra Yering 600kg open fermenters. Hand plunged twice daily until fermentation is complete, some extended time on skins until tannins soften before deciding to press based on taste. Gravity filled to French oak Bordeaux shaped barrels completing malolactic fermentation in the cool underground cellars. 40% new oak, 15 months maturation.
Blackcurrant fruits, iodine interest, bay leaf lift, a wonderful energy, fruit purity and precision. A youthful wine with vibrant acidity, fruit volume, a ripe and fine tannin framework that supports the fruit intensity. - Winemaker Note
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.
