Tasting Notes
Our Shiraz (with the usual splash of Viognier) is a wine that continues to demonstrate the affinity of the variety with the Yarra Valley. From the outset, the nose offers a lively, lifted array of aromas - blueberry, violet, black pepper, liquorice and bay leaf. The palate, fresh and energetic, is both perfumed and delicate but then also supple, fleshy and generous. The underlying depth and savoury, structured richness that drives the finish is quietly there now, and over the next 10 or more years it will come to the fore. - 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.
