The Yarra Yering planting of Pinot Noir contains some of the oldest vines of their type in the Yarra Valley. A mixed planting of 4 clones was undertaken in 1969, then followed up with replication in 1981 (top of the slope) & 1984 (bottom of the slope).

The grapes were hand-picked, chilled overnight, and processed the next day via a sorting table before gentle destemming into our signature small fermenters. Some whole bunches add subtle stalk structure to the fruit structure. Ferments are gently hand-plunged twice daily, with minimal extraction for a soft fruit palate. The wine is gently pressed off skins and seeds, then matured for 10 months in French oak (30% new).

Bright crimson in appearance, with a bouquet of violets, ripe black cherry fruits, a little rose petal lift, and a faint hint of smoky char. A fleshy, flavoursome cherry fruit palate with a pinch of aniseed spice that tames the fruit and adds complexity. Silky elegance and fine tannin structure, enhanced by some bunch inclusion, create a medium-bodied yet powerful Pinot Noir.

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.
