Yarra Yering Dry Red No.2 2022 (750ml)

Complex and layered; sweet and savoury all at once. The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, cranberry, plums, a whisker of bramble and fragrant five spice. 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.

Varietals: 96% Shiraz, 2% Marsanne, 1.5% Mataro, 0.5% Viognier,

Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia.

Vines: 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.

Cellaring: Approachable in its youth, but gains complexity with age. It has a proven track record and thus will evolve for 20+ years under suitable cellaring, though medium-term aging also offers rewards.

Alcohol: 13.5%
