Yarra Yering Dry Red No.3 2021

The last fruit to be harvested from the vineyard. Hand-picked and destemmed together in a ‘field blend’ style retaining as many whole berries as possible. The first working of the must is with the feet as in a traditional lagar in Portugal to extract tannins from both skins and seeds.

Boysenberry and cardamom spices, mocha and charcuterie complexity on the nose. Bright blackcurrant fruit and licorice spice of Touriga Naçional, the Tinta Cão brings bright and fragrant blue fruit energy. Tinta Roriz brings a savoury depth to the palate to compliment the Tinta Amarela’s floral and bay leaf herbal lift. To tie everything together the finesse of Alvarelhão and the acidity of the Sousão tightens and drives the long palate. Wonderfully complex and yet medium bodied.
