Mixed Reds 6 Yarra Yering Shiraz Collection (6 Bottles)

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Australian old vine grapes crafted into European style, medium bodied shiraz. The Dry Red No 2 (first produced in 1973) captures the spirit of Cote Rotie marrying the dark fruit and spice of cool climate shiraz to aromatic white varieties viognier and marsanne. The Underhill Shiraz came into being in the late 1980s after the neighbouring Underhill vineyard was acquired; this is a broad, muscular shiraz similar to a Rhone Hermitage in style. Whilst the New Territories is a blend of 65% shiraz planted in 1995 and 35% Touriga Nacional planted in 1990 and gives this wine a notable Portuguese twist. This shiraz masterclass includes 2 bottles each.

INCLUDES:

2 Bottles of Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 2 2018
A shiraz-based blend with inspiration drawn from France’s Rhone Valley. The shiraz and marsanne planted in 1969, mataro and viognier planted from 1984 to 1995: all unirrigated. Fragrance and headiness to the fore, this wine exudes intense perfume, red fruits, floral notes and spice.

2 Bottles of Yarra Yering New Territories Shiraz Touriga 2020
A unique blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% of the Portuguese varietal Touriga Nacional. The Touriga Nacional was planted in 1990 originally to make a port style in a block that was referred to as New Territories by Dr Carrodus. Only the third vintage made of this wine, it is juicy, full flavoured and ready to drink on release.

2 Bottles of Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz 2018
Perfumed cool climate Shiraz; deliciously medium bodied with a lick of aniseed spice. Hand harvested, the bunches pass across a sorting table before being destemmed with no crushing to retain whole berries. Fermentation in the Yarra Yering half-tonne open-fermenters, gently hand lunged twice daily. A component of 100% whole bunch fermentation as well as some 20% whole bunch fermentation bring some volume and plushness to the fruit palate. Air bag pressed to release the last fermenting juice form the many whole berries remaining. The wine then aged for 12 months in French oak puncheons (500L) only 25% new oak.
