      Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No. 1 2022

      A deep crimson purple; almost opaque. Uber classical cabernet aromas with its core of concentrated and pure blackcurrant and cedar. Throw in hints of bay leaf, some gravel and a little sea spray and you have a pretty special Dry Red Wine No. 1. It's richly fruited and elegant with perfectly integrated, supple and persistent tannins. An altogether sumptuous and majestic wine.

      — Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion, 97 Point

      Sweet ripe berry aromas a touch of smoky reduction, a hint of briar, the palate has good intensity and focus, with a little astringency and bright acidity enlivening the middle and finish. Firm tannins add good structure to the wine. There is elegance and detail. Delicious wine that will reward cellaring.

      — Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 96 Points

      The 2022 Dry Red No 1 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), Merlot (11%), Malbec (6%) and Petit Verdot (3%). The Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec components are from the original estate vineyard planted in 1969. Aromatically, the wine leads with sumac spices and paprika, cassis, mulberry and pink peppercorns, dried bay leaf, tobacco and even a hint of tapenade. The palate is a complex place, structured by firm tannins, fresh and cool in feel and with a mineral-inflected, graphite-like, dried mint finish. Neat as a pin. The wine was matured in French oak barrique (35% new) for 15 months.

      Yarra Yering

      In 1969, Dr Bailey Carrodus re-established winemaking in Yarra Valley in Victoria, picking up from where it left in mid-1800s to the 1920s. He completed degrees in horticulture and winemaking and studied in France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Dr Carrodus found a vineyard site in the Yarra Valley and produced wine in the style he loved. After his passing, the vineyard was sold to two businessmen who carried on his legacy and pathed the way to becoming one of the region’s oldest and most respected wineries. From 2013 the coveted role of winemaker and general manager went to Sarah Crowe who was named James Halliday's 2017 Winemaker of the Year. Sarah makes elegant, acclaimed wines, but humbly credits the vineyard as the true hero. 

      At Yarra Yering, all fruit is hand-picked in the cool of the morning into 10kg picking buckets and delivered directly to the winery. The fruit is then sorted and either destemmed or crushed into traditional tea chest 0.5-tonne open-fermenters. Depending on the variety, stalks may be added back during the fermentation stage in baskets for easy removal when there is just enough stalk tannin present. The 70 acres of vines at Yarra Yering are grown without irrigation on a northerly slope at the foot of the Warramate hills. The vines benefit from good drainage, all-day exposure to the sun, and enough elevation from the valley floor to avoid spring frosts. This produces wines that are inherently balanced, precise, and elegant. The low yield of 1-2 tons per acre results in fruit with great intensity and concentration of flavour, as well as an abundance of natural acidity.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Blueberry, Blackberry, Bay Leaf, Spice

      Dark berries mixed in with intricate layers of clove spice and subtle smoky oak add depth and intrigue to the aromatic profile, enticing the senses with each swirl.

      PALATE
      Fleshy, Fruit-Forward and Structured

      A beautiful weight complemented by a fine balance of tannins and refreshing acidity. A firm foundation of Cabernet’s structure supports the rounder, fruit-driven qualities of the Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

      FINISH
      Elegant, Persistent and Long

      Notes of spice and a touch of oak that add to the wine’s overall complexity. The fine tannins and vibrant acidity ensure that this wine will continue to evolve gracefully over time.
