Four clones, small-batch fermentation and gentle French oak maturation create an elegant yet powerful wine with fine tannins and immediate appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard contains a mixed planting of four Pinot Noir clones. The original planting was established in 1969, followed by replicated plantings in 1981 at the top of the slope and in 1984 at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were hand-picked, chilled overnight and processed the following day through a sorting table. Gentle destemming into Yarra Yering’s small fermenters was combined with some whole bunches for subtle stalk structure. The ferments were hand-plunged twice daily with minimal extraction before gentle pressing. The wine matured for 10 months in French oak, including 30% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Bright crimson hue. Violet perfumed nose, mixed cherry fruits with a pinch of aniseed spice. Red cherry fruits explode on the front palate. A silky elegance combined with very fine tannin structure, both grape and oak tannin to produce a medium-bodied yet powerful style, the 2018 delivering a juicy fruit palate; immediately delicious.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted October 2019\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards and Recognition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Winewise Championship Awards 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Royal Queensland Wine Show 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Royal Melbourne Wine Awards 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 Merit Wine - The Real Review Wine Classification of Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#25 - Halliday Top 50 Most Popular Wines of 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Yering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClonal Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Pinot Noir clones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Valley, Victoria\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-picked\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small fermenters with partial whole-bunch inclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle hand plunging twice daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 months in French oak, including 30% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10 years under suitable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pure Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391490552110,"sku":"1313140887","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2018_Pinot_Noir_375ml_Yarra_Yering.jpg?v=1785917198","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2018-yarra-yering-pinot-noir-375ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
