Yarra Yering is one of the oldest and most beautiful vineyards in Victoria’s Yarra Valley with 28 hectares of vines located at the foot of the Warramate Hills. Established in 1969 by Dr. Bailey Carrodus, the 1973 vintage saw the production of the first vintage of Dry Red Wine No. 1 and Dry Red Wine No. 2. Yarra Yering quickly gained an international reputation for quality and individuality and paved the way for other Yarra Valley wineries.

The Light Dry Red winemaking techniques used to encourage an exotic floral fragrance, coupled with an expansive fruitful palate and a fine tannin framework. Highly aromatic with rose petals, blue violets, and mixed cherry fruits, the palate has a light touch yet is soft and full of juicy plum fruits, the faintest bramble grip from the use of stalks bringing some structure and drive to the finish. Pinot noir was fermented with whole berries in 600kg fermenters and hand plunged gently. Shiraz was 100% whole bunch fermented, left untouched for 10 days before destemming to complete ferment as whole berries. The individual components spent 9 months in used French oak barriques in our underground cellar before blending and bottling.
