2016 | Yarra Yering | Dry Red No 1 (Half Bottle)

Shows signature blackberry, aniseed, marzipan and cassis with hints of bergamot and sage. On the palate, a medium-bodied style featuring a fleshy, fruit-layered palate integrated with earthy complexity.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A very reserved, elegant and regal nose, showing subtle yet confident aromas of freshly picked blackcurrants, lead pencil, cassis, dried herbs, cedar, iodine and crushed stones. The palate is very polished and seamless with velvety tannins, a beautiful line of acidity that’s wonderfully integrated and a very long finish.

• James Halliday: Profoundly juicy and rich, yet kept under tight control by the web of ripe tannins, oak part of the structure and texture. It is a wine that you can sit with for a prolonged examination and discussion.

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.
