Tasting Notes

Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%. The depth and character of the fruit that our Shiraz vineyard is now producing is a delight to see. Subtle, savoury and deep set, the 2018 Shiraz offers aromas of blueberry, black pepper and dark cherry, building weight and presence as it unfurls, with complex notes of bay, thyme, salumi and liquorice. At the same time, there’s a freshness that wraps itself around the core of deep fruit, giving real lift and vibrancy to the perfume. The palate is immediately bright and energetic, with weight and richness too, savoury, subtle yet deeply concentrated, tightly wound and finely structured. Tasted over a couple of weeks, this is a wine that just keeps on evolving, so while it’s wonderful now, we’re equally confident it’ll provide drinking pleasure for many years to come.

Critic Scores

"Such an elegantly spicy style of cooler-climate shiraz, this has aromas of fine white pepper and hard brown spices, across red plums, raspberries and blackcurrants. The palate is so fresh, long and fine with a really elegant, silky feel and such seamless length. Red plums and blueberries, as well as some darker fruit. Fresh finish. Try from 2023."

"Highly perfumed, exotic notes of cracked pepper and spice, red and black fruit, and grilled meat. It’s medium-bodied, svelte and juicy, subtle kind of wine, but no shortage of flavour in the spice and mixed berries kind of thing. Tannin is fine with an emery board quality, perfume of jasmine and stone fruit carries the finish. Stylish. Better with a few more years in bottle, I’d say."

"Appealing ruby-red in colour, this is true cool-climate shiraz. Lovers of big mutha, warm-climate shiraz should look away. The nose has red berry, light peppercorn, earth, leafy and floral top notes; lifted, savoury and fresh. In the mouth, it's medium-bodied with good intensity of flavour and a fine tannin backbone"

About this Wine

Yeringberg

Yeringberg’s status as a pioneer of the Yarra Valley is indisputable. It was one of the first winery’s established in the region, was one of the last to stop making wine in the Yarra Valley when wine production ground to a halt in 1921 and was once again one of the first to revive its operations in 1969 when Australian-made wine came back into favour.

Third-generation winemaker, Guill de Pury, and his daughter Sandra focus on small-batch, handcrafted wines that reflect the history and charm of Yeringberg. The family celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2013 with plans to be making classic Yarra Valley wines for many more years to come.
