Description

Introducing the 2021 Yeringberg Viognier from the Yarra Valley – Yeringberg's commitment to crafting wines from low-yielding vines, nestled in the heart of a historic nineteenth-century vineyard, is unparalleled.

At 161 years young, Yeringberg epitomizes tradition and excellence. Remaining under the same stewardship for over a century and a half, their longevity in winemaking places them in esteemed company, with few rivals such as Yalumba. Yet, what truly sets them apart is their ability to reach the pinnacle of their craft at this stage of their journey.

The 2021 vintage is destined to become legendary in the Yarra Valley, with wines that will continue to captivate enthusiasts for decades to come. Despite a wet start in winter and spring, the growing season proved remarkably smooth. Well-managed flowering and a prolonged, dry ripening period post-January rains resulted in wines boasting lower alcohols, alongside beautifully ripe fruit and tannins.

Harvested over two weeks to balance freshness and richness, the wine exhibits a captivating bouquet of apricot, mango, and vanilla, intertwined with delicate hints of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and rosewater. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious fusion of depth, volume, and richness, underscored by a structured framework that offers both tension and controlled power.

Enjoyable now or over the next 3-4 years, this Viognier is a testament to Yeringberg's enduring legacy of crafting wines that stand the test of time, embodying both tradition and innovation in every sip.

Voluptuous, silken textured and with excellent balance on the palate. Finishes focused and long. A hedonistic wine that's probably best enjoyed in its youth.
