Cuttings from these vines were planted in 2000 and contribute 50% of the blend. The remaining 50% comes from Burgundy Clone 95, planted in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-harvested grapes were chilled overnight before being whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation took place with wild and cultured yeasts in French oak, using a combination of 228L barriques and 500L puncheons, including 30% new oak. Malolactic fermentation was inhibited to preserve natural acidity. The wine matured for 10 months in Yarra Yering’s cool underground cellar before blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Oyster shells, wet rocks, sea spray and orchard fruits. Finesse combine with pillowy fruit weight; this is a wine that has weight and texture coupled with a green apple crunch. An energy drives the palate with a pithy interest and a slippery texture On the back palate the gives ample weight and extraordinary carry. The fruit is supported by an extremely fine grained oak tannin framework which lingers on the finish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eReviewed 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Halliday Wine Companion 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted August 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum Medal and 97 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Royal Queensland Wine Show 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Rutherglen Wine Show 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Rutherglen Wine Show 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal - Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal - National Wine Show of Australia 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal - Royal Queensland Wine Show 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Medal - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2023\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 2021\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% Chardonnay\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\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole-bunch pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild and cultured yeasts in French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOak:\u003c\/strong\u003e 228L barriques and 500L puncheons, including 30% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inhibited\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.0%\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":52391452410158,"sku":"6277656846","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/YARRAYERINGChardonnay_YarraValley2021HalfBottle_shopify.jpg?v=1785915127","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2021-yarra-yering-chardonnay-375ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
