The 2023 Yeringberg ‘Yeringberg’ Cabernet Blend stands as the estate’s flagship wine, capturing the heritage and quiet precision that have defined this historic Yarra Valley producer for generations. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting roles from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the blend is sourced from mature estate vines planted between 1969 and 2000.
The wine opens with a brilliant crimson-purple hue and an expressive aromatic profile of blackcurrant, wild blackberry and crushed violets, layered with sweet spice and subtle cedar. True to its cool-climate origins, the palate emphasises structure and refinement rather than weight, delivering medium-bodied elegance framed by beautifully integrated tannins. A fine thread of acidity carries the fruit effortlessly, while understated oak adds dimension without overshadowing varietal purity. There is an appealing harmony here — fruit, tannin and oak moving seamlessly together to create both immediacy and sophistication. Though already approachable, the wine possesses the composure and architecture to evolve gracefully over the next decade or longer.
The 2023 vintage reflects a softer, more aromatic style while maintaining the estate’s hallmark balance and age-worthy design. Altogether, it is a poised and classically styled Cabernet blend that speaks clearly of place, lineage and meticulous winemaking.
