67/15/12/6% Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Malbec/Petit Verdot. The first plantings at YY into block No 1 were these Cabernet and Malbec vines, hence the name.

This is mesmerising! Fragrance – all floral and spicy with some aniseed and fresh herbs. Poised fruit flavours of blackberries, mulberries and a hint of blueberries coated in spicy oak and tethered to the body of the wine. Pulsing acidity and beautiful tannin structure shape this and offer a promise of more to come in time.

Description

Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 1 2019

67/15/12/6% Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Malbec/Petit Verdot. The first plantings at YY into block No 1 were these Cabernet and Malbec vines, hence the name.

Some merlot was interplanted with the cabernet and subsequent plantings in 1990 from a newly acquired neighbouring site.

Petit Verdot is only grown on the hillside of the new territories. All hand harvested and sorted, only the very best berries go into this wine.

Cabernet berries sorted individually before crushed. Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot are whole-berry ferments. All fermented in half-tonne fermenters, hand plunged twice daily. Some of the cabernet spends more time on skins. Components are kept separate in French oak 40% new, 15 months all up then blended just before bottling.

This is mesmerising!  Fragrance – all floral and spicy with some aniseed and fresh herbs.  Poised fruit flavours of blackberries, mulberries and a hint of blueberries coated in spicy oak and tethered to the body of the wine. Pulsing acidity and beautiful tannin structure shape this and offer a promise of more to come in time.
