Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz 2017
The Yarra Yering estate is situated at the western extremity of the Yarra Valley, with the Underhill Shiraz block planted in 1973. This 8-acre block benefits from well-drained soils and a moderate climate, which contribute to the wine’s refined and balanced character.
The Underhill Shiraz is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted to retain whole berries, which are then fermented in half-tonne open fermenters with hand plunging twice daily. The use of stalk baskets during fermentation adds structure and complexity to the wine. A portion of the grapes undergoes whole bunch fermentation, which enhances the wine’s volume and plushness.
