2019 | Yarra Yering | Carrodus Shiraz

Black fruit with floral and meaty nuances on the nose, carries through on the palate with liquorice and mineral notes. Wonderfully concentrated and structured by oak tannins.

Reviews:

• James Halliday: Wafts of pepper, woodsy spices, iodine and florals end up mingling with the pure fruit flavours within. Ribbons of fine tannin grace the palate, as does gossamer-like acidity, holding everything perfectly in place and just allowing the finish to linger and impress even more.

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.
