Established in 1969, Yarra Yering is recognized as one of Australia’s most iconic vineyards. From 29 hectares of dry-grown vines in the Yarra Valley, they produce wines renowned for their signature structure, understated power, and enduring longevity. 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 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.
Yarra Yering produces elegant, complex and powerful wines. Approachable as young wines, they have the ability to develop in the bottle for many years. Today, Yarra Yering winemaker Sarah Crowe (James Halliday's 2017 Australian Winemaker of the Year) honors the tradition started by Dr Carrodus.
Crunchy green apple freshness and lemon citrus poise from the Semillon grapes, minimal skin contact lending ginger spice, some of the weight from maturation in old, neutral oak barrels as well as the Chardonnay fruit. The bright acidity drives the palate length. Hand-harvested, the Semillon was crushed before pressing for some skin contact to extract flavour from the skins, the Chardonnay whole bunch pressed before the juice was transferred for fermentation in old oak barrels, lending weight and texture.
