Yarra Yering Dry Red No.2 2021
1969 plantings of Shiraz and Marsanne, with additional Shiraz planted across the 1990’s, Mataro, Marsanne & Viognier drawn from vines planted from 1984 to 1995.
Fruit was hand-picked, transferred across a sorting table and destemmed directly to the Yarra Yering half-tonne open-fermenters. As much whole berry as possible is retained to encourage perfume. A small portion of fermenters had frozen Viognier skins added to the bottom. The wine was aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, 30% new before blending and bottling.

Region:
Nose:
The fragrance is a melting pot of violets,
cranberry, plums, a whisker of bramble and
fragrant five spice.
Palate:
Moderate in weight; the summer pudding fruits come in all colours dialling up the flavour. There is cigar box and cardamom spice lending intrigue. Firm yet fine tannins ably support the fruit and texture drive the palate.
Varietal Composition:
Shiraz (96%), Viognier (2%) and Mataro (2%)
