The 2019 vintage combines whole berries and whole bunches with foudre fermentation and French oak maturation, producing a focused and cellar-worthy expression of this historic Yarra Valley site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes exclusively from Underhill, a 3.2-hectare Shiraz block at the western extremity of Yarra Yering.

Half was then matured for a year in the same foudre, the remainder into used French oak puncheons. There's so much restraint and purity of fruit across the YY range this vintage, Underhill is no different. Perfumed, savoury, delicate yet complex, pure and long. Lacy tannins and fine acidity work across a lithe palate. Drink by 2033.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted August 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted October 2021\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Fresh and lively, this offers aromas of red and dark berries, as well as plums.
