The 2021 vintage combines exceptional fruit purity and energy with fine tannins and precise oak maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was sourced exclusively from the southwest corner of the No.1 Cabernet Sauvignon block, planted in 1969. This selected parcel follows a gravel band through the vineyard and produces Cabernet Sauvignon of distinctive concentration, structure and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was harvested by hand, destemmed and crushed into Yarra Yering’s half-tonne open fermenters. It was hand-plunged twice daily, with extended time on skins used where required to soften the tannins. The wine was gravity-filled into Bordeaux-shaped French oak barrels, including 40% new oak, and matured for 15 months while completing malolactic fermentation in the cool underground cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Blackcurrant fruits, iodine interest, bay leaf lift, a wonderful energy, fruit purity and precision. A youthful wine with vibrant acidity, fruit volume, a ripe and fine tannin framework that supports the fruit intensity.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Ned Goodwin, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted May 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Pointed scents of crushed currants, bay leaves and tobacco, doused with black olive tapenade across the finish. This is fuller, denser and more resinous than other expressions in the suite, while remaining mid-weighted and light on its feet. … Thrilling energy. A wine for those who don't mind cabernet's greener edge, however. Best after 2027. Even better well after.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Merit Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e - The Real Review Wine Classification of Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e99 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - Tyson Stelzer, Wine Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - Halliday Wine Companion 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - Ned Goodwin, JamesSuckling.com\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 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Yering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrodus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e No.1 Cabernet Sauvignon block\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1969\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 harvested\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half-tonne open fermenters with hand plunging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 months in Bordeaux-shaped French oak barrels, including 40% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20+ years under suitable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pure Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391403061550,"sku":"5549012460","price":274.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2021YarraYeringCarrodusCabernetSauvignon750ml.png?v=1785912559","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-yarra-yering-carrodus-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
