Whole-berry and whole-bunch fermentation, gentle extraction and large-format French oak maturation produce a balanced, medium-bodied wine with significant cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from a single eight-acre Shiraz block on a neighbouring property acquired by Yarra Yering in 1988. Its west-facing slope and clay-based soils are particularly suited to cool-climate Shiraz. The original clone is unknown and remains unique to this vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was harvested by hand and sorted before being divided into whole bunches and whole berries. Half of the block fermented in a 3500L oak cask with 20% whole-bunch inclusion, while the remainder fermented in half-tonne open fermenters with twice-daily hand plunging. The wine matured for 12 months, with 50% in a three-year-old 3500L oak cask and 50% in French oak puncheons, including 10% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Dark fruits; brooding and mysterious. Cool-climate Shiraz, deliciously medium-bodied. Think charcuterie, graphite, and aniseed spice. Blue and black plums add fruit concentration, layered with liquorice spice, cured meat, and a smoky-char whisper. Medium-weighted, driven by fruit purity, with oak as a faint seasoning alongside subtle stalk grip.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eReviewed 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“From a shiraz vineyard planted in 1973 adjacent to Yarra Yering. A vivid crimson purple colour, a mix of whole-bunch and berry fermentation and maturation in large format French oak. This is a glorious shiraz, bursting with life and what will surely be a 40-year life span, so perfectly framed and balanced are its black cherry and blackberry fruit duo, tannins obediently bending the knee to the fruit.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 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\u003e95 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Ryan Montgomery, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards and Recognition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Puglisi Grand Champion Wine of Show - Royal Queensland Wine Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Red Table Wine of Show - Royal Queensland Wine Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Shiraz Wine of Show - Royal Queensland Wine Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Victorian Shiraz Trophy - Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - National Wine Show of Australia 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal - Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2023\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\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 Underhill\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eight acres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1973\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 Whole berries and whole bunches in a 3500L oak cask and half-tonne open fermenters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 months in large-format oak and French oak puncheons, including 10% new oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024-2030\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years under suitable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pure Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391560905006,"sku":"3245718202","price":299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2022_Underhill_Shiraz_Yarra_Yering.jpg?v=1785919170","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2022-yarra-yering-underhill-shiraz-1-5l-magnum","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
