Tasting Notes
Hand harvested and destemmed without crushing to retain as many whole berries as possible into the Yarra Yering 600kg small fermenters. Some stalks returned to bring lift and structure, as Dr Carrodus used to do. Hand plunged twice daily for gentle extraction before gentle pressing. Maturation in small French oak barrels, 35% new for 10 months.
Bright crimson colour. Rose petals and cherry fruits. Highly aromatic with some oak adding a vanilla sweetness. An elegant and silky fruit profile, cherry-soft, the palate is silky, seamless and expansive. Some graphite and oak spice lend a fine tannin structure to the finish. Winery 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.
