In the very best Cabernet years Yeringberg produce a single variety Cabernet Sauvignon from their 1999 plantings, these being 2017, 2019 & 2022. A high quality vintage producing excellent, intense wines in small quantities. Picked on 29 March & 1 April 2022. Bottled on 2024. The fruit is all hand picked, and carefully sorted. The grapes are destemmed and crushed and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged. It spent 16 days on skins. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for 21 months, about 30% new.
Beef and Venison
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offers a more structured and tensile perspective on the vintage, while retaining hallmark Yeringberg elegance. The deepset nose has aromas of blackberry, black olive and dark chocolate, together with notes of iodine and tobacco.
The palate continues the theme, with a savoury, almost primal quality underpinning the intense, ripe Cabernet fruit. But there’s also freshness and lift that gives elegance and shape to the long finish.
