The 2024 vintage combines floral perfume, vibrant red and dark fruit, savoury spice and firm sinewy tannins in a complex, medium-bodied style with exceptional ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shiraz includes vines from Yarra Yering’s original 1969 vineyard establishment, supplemented by additional plantings made throughout the 1990s as neighbouring land was acquired. The small Viognier component comes from vines planted between 1984 and 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was hand picked, chilled overnight and passed across a sorting table before being destemmed directly into Yarra Yering’s half-tonne open fermenters. As much whole berry as possible was retained to encourage perfume. A small number of fermenters received frozen Viognier skins, reflecting the tiny yields in 2024. The wine was matured for 15 months in French oak barriques, including 35% new oak, before blending and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex and layered; sweet and savoury all at once. The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, raspberry, plums, a whisker of bramble, fragrant five spice and black olive. Moderate in weight; the summer pudding fruits come in all colours dialling up the flavour. There is cigar box and cardamom spice lending intrigue and a dry spice finish coupled by firm sinewy tannins that ably support the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCellaring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproachable in its youth, the wine will soften and gain complexity with age. Its proven track record supports evolution for 20+ years under suitable cellaring conditions, while medium-term ageing will also be rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAwards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLangton’s Classified — 8th Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 Merit Wine — The Real Review Wine Classification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points — Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97+ Points — Halliday Wine Companion 2027\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points — Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYarra Yering is one of the pioneering estates of Victoria’s Yarra Valley.
