All hand harvested and processing across a sorting table, only the very best berries go into this wine.

The Cabernet is crushed to build structure through fermentation. Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot are whole berry ferments for fragrance and palate flesh. All fermented in half-tonne fermenters and hand plunged twice daily, some of the Cabernet spending extended time on skins for complexity.

Components kept separate in French oak barrels, only 40% of them new until being blended just before bottling after 15 months barrel maturation.

Tasting Note: Fruit power is the hallmark of this blend, dark berry fruits and some sage adding a background herbal lift. Christmas cake mixed spice and oak is evident but all in balance with the fruit. Beautiful fruit, a bright acid drive and tannins that form a solid foundation for the long future. Brooding but not intimidating, this will be exciting to watch evolve.

Yarra Yering

Yarra Yering, an icon from Victoria, Australia, has been built on the basis of giving individual vineyard blocks, and grape varietals, the time and
attention they deserve. This effort ensures that Yarra Yering continue to make high-quality wines and maintain their enviable reputation.

Although wine was an important industry in the Yarra Valley throughout
the 1800s, by the 1920s it had largely halted as farmers moved onto other crops. It took the vision of the legendary Dr Bailey Carrodus, to help re-establish the Yarra Valley as one of Australia’s pre-eminent wine regions.

After several years of careful research, he settled on the Yarra Valley as the ideal site and in 1969 he purchased land at the foot of the Warramate Hills. He named his vineyard Yarra Yering and in 1973 produced the first vintages of his now iconic Dry Red Wine No. 1 and Dry Red Wine No. 2.
