Yarra Yering
Yarra Yering has been established in the Yarra Valley since 1969 and since then has distinguished itself from the rest of Australian winemaking. With an iconic range of wines, including the Dry Reds Nos. 1 & 2 alongside an ever increasing and changing cast of supporting characters, this is one of the most dynamic ranges in Australia today. The quality of Yarra Yering has continued unabated through to the present day as evidenced by James Halliday’s selection of Sarah Crowe as 'Australian Winemaker of the Year 2017’.
This winery is one of the legends of Australian winemaking and a true original in terms of style and aesthetic. Their low-fi production values with lightweight glass bottle and non-existant punt (dimple on the bottle of the bottle) buck the trend of obnoxiously weighty bottles. Their wine is similarly light in comparison, with their reds known to reach staggering lows of 12.5%, below even modern Burgundian averages. An elegant overall style and a refusal to dignify design conventions have endeared this winery to its fans around the world.

Wine Advocate (92+)A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the 2012 Agincourt possesses a deep garnet-purple color and notes of crushed blackberries, black cherries and blueberries with hints of violets, pencil lead and Provence herbs. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully structured with firm, fine-grained tannins and great freshness plus enough muscular fruit to flesh out this modestly weighted wine. It finishes with great length. |

Wine Advocate (92)Opening with a gorgeous, white blossom-laced perfume, the 2012 Carrodus Viognier is scented of peach blossoms, frangipani and spiced pears with suggestions of baker's year and acacia honey. Medium to full-bodied and wonderfully concentrated on the palate, it gives tons of honeyed and spiced stone-fruit flavors with just enough acidity to lift this creamy textured wine to a long finish. |
