The block has a slight west-facing slope and clay-based soils, with a perfectly suited clone unique to this site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Underhill is glossy, brooding and medium-bodied, combining cool-climate elegance with depth and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue and black berry fruits, graphite and charcuterie appear in a brooding and mysterious style. The palate is glossy and medium-bodied yet intense, with ripe black plum fruit, some charred oak barrel character and stalk tannin adding grip and driving persistence across the back palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is hand harvested and sorted before processing as whole bunches or berries. Half of the block is fermented in a 3,500L oak cask with 20% whole bunch, then pressed and returned to cask for maturation. The remaining fruit ferments in half-tonne open fermenters and is hand plunged twice daily. Pressed to release the last fermenting juice, the wine is aged for 12 months, with 50% in a five-year-old 3,500L cask and 50% in French oak puncheons, including 10% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Merit Wine - The Real Review Wine Classification of Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e97 Points - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 2027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 Points - Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e96 Points - Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, tasted March 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCellaring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically one of the Yarra Yering wines to shine earlier, this 2024 release has serious cellaring capacity.
