2019 | Yarra Yering | Pinot Noir

Lilac perfumed nose, cherry fruits with a pinch of aniseed spice. On the palate, black cherry fruits dominate the palate and a pinch of Chinese five spice. A silky elegance combined with a defined tannin structure, both grape and oak tannin to produce a medium-bodied yet powerful style.

Reviews:

• James Halliday : A beautifully balanced and complete wine to either drink now or cellar so it garners more complexity. The former option is hard to beat, revealing plump plums and black cherries, layers of spice and integrated oak. Precision across the palate, raw silk tannins and a freshness to the acidity ensure there's a lingering quality.

Producer Information

Yarra Yering is an Australian wine producer, named after its location within the Yarra Valley in the state of Victoria. It was established in 1969 by Dr Bailey Carrodus, and today is one of the oldest producers of the Yarra Valley. Dr Carrodus was the first to thoroughly explore the potential for viticulture in the Yarra Valley wine region. He saw potential in the terroir for wine production decades prior to any sign of commercialisation in the valley. This entrepreneurial spirit translated into the winery with Dr Carrodus inventing a "tea chest" fermenters which are stainless steel lined wooden chests that hold just the right amount of fermenting grapes for the basket press. These fermenters are still utilized in the winery today. The more modern winemaking techniques employed by Yarra Yering today include the use of French oak for barrel aging as well as for malolactic fermentation. Throughout the primary fermentation, red wines are plunged by hand to encourage the gentle extraction of tannins. The Dry Red No.1 and Dry Red No.2 were produced in the first vintage from Yarra Yering and remain as the flagship duo of the wine portfolio. No.1 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux blend whilst No.2 is primarily Shiraz that is complimented with tiny amounts of Mataro and Viognier, depending on the vintage.
