Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1 2018

The first plantings at Yarra Yering into block No.1 were these Cabernet vines and the name was born. The Malbec was also part of the original 1969 plantings. Some Merlot vines are interplanted with the Cabernet with subsequent plantings made in 1990 on the newly acquired neighbouring land. Petit verdot is now only grown on the hillside of the new territories.

Additional details

Region:

Cellaring:

Enjoy now or 20+ years.

Nose:

Fruit power is the hallmark of this blend, dark berry fruits and some sage adding a background herbal lift. Christmas cake mixed spice and oak is evident but all in balance with the fruit.

Palate:

Beautiful fruit, a bright acid drive and tannins that form a solid foundation for the long future. Brooding but not intimidating, this will be exciting to watch evolve.

Varietal Composition:

Cabernet Sauvignon 55% Merlot 28% Malbec 12% Petit Verdot 5%
