About This Wine
The philosophy of Yabby Lake is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of the site and the season in which they are grown. Attention and care in the vineyard are considered most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2025 season saw a welcomed return of warm and extended summer conditions, producing full flavoured wines with impeccable intensity and balance.
