Tasting Notes
(Marsanne 62%, Roussanne 38%). From vines that are now approaching 50 years of age, our 2021 white blend continues its tradition of being an understated, complex and food-friendly wine. The nose is floral, with notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom, while also having a subtle, savoury depth that speaks of pear skin, quince & beeswax. The palate offers more of the same, with a savoury, textured and powerful mouthfeel, that’s also lively and fresh, with a long and moreish finish. Enjoy now, and then watch this complex wine evolve over the next 8-10 years. - Sandra de Pury
Guill de Pury grew up beside the out-of-operation 19th-century winery in Coldstream where a lack of interest in fine table wines had caused production to cease in 1921. In 1969, Guill and wife Katherine decided to replant the vineyard and start again, and gradually restored the reputation of this great Australian estate.
Guill has since handed over chief responsibility for the wines to daughter Sandra de Pury. Sandra initially worked as a chef in Hong Kong after previous experience in kitchens and a period of study in hotel management in Switzerland. She then enrolled in an MBA program at the university of Melbourne, during which she won a scholarship to the University of Chicago. This was followed by a five-year stint as a jet-setting problem-solver with a Melbourne-based management consultancy.
Eventually her family heritage caught up with her and she succumbed to the wine bug. She completed a degree in oenology on her way to becoming fourth-generation winemaker at Yeringberg, where she views her art as 'the perfect combination of intellectual, physical and sensory engagement.
