There is always a buzz around when a winery of Yarra Yering's calibre releases a new suite of wines. We are delighted to offer an exciting Spring release of 2021s - Dry White No. 1, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Dry Red No. 3.
Winemaker Sarah Crowe has been hard at work and determined to bring the entire Yarra Valley icon's wines up to the standard and consistency of the No.1, No. 2 and Underhill offerings.

2021 Dry White No. 1
Usually $64 - Special Offer $59
"A blend of 75/25% semillon/chardonnay, picked and fermented separately (the chardonnay barrel fermented in older wood) and blended in October. A very bright green gold. Really bright and fresh on the nose, too, with aromas of lemon verbena, grapefruit pith and orchard fruits. Chalky, dry, long and seamless. In a word, lovely, and this will only continue to become more complex over the next seven-plus years, too."

2021 Chardonnay
375ml - Usually $65 - Special Offer $60
750 ml - Usually $129 - Special Offer $120
"From the two original chardonnay blocks plus plantings from 2013 featuring newer clonal material. Barrel fermented in barriques and puncheons (30% new) and zero mlf. Brightly coloured. Complex with terrific fruit purity in the form of perfectly ripe orchard fruits and with just a hint of matchstick, too. Gentle, slatey and persistent, as good as it is now, this is also a keeper and will continue to blossom over the next few years."

2021 Pinot Noir
375ml - Usually $65 - Special Offer $60
750ml - Usually $129 - Special Offer $120
"Some whole bunches, a gentle hand plunging twice a day and 10 months in barriques (30% new). The top-pointed pinot from the Yarra Valley at the 2022 Australian Pinot Challenge, Sarah Crowe is now making pinots at Yarra Yering that stand alongside the other more celebrated reds in the portfolio. Just so perfumed with its bouquet of red fruits, rose petals and mountain herbs. Great depth and flow on the palate. It's deceptive, too, in that as pretty and alluring as this is now, it's also finely structured and tensile. It will be fascinating to see how this matures and unfolds over the next few years."

2021 Dry Red No.3
Usually $109 - Special Offer $99
"A blend of 35/35/12/7/6/5% touriga nacional/tinta cão/tinta amarela/tinta roriz/alvarelhão/sousão, all sourced from 1990 plantings. Yarra Yering and winemaker Sarah Crowe have hit the jackpot with their superb line-up of 2021 reds. Founder Bailey Carrodus originally planted these Portuguese varieties to make fortified wine. While the odd fortified is still made here, it's the Dry Red Wine No. 3 – a modern-day classic – that benefits. A totally gorgeous wine that's hard to put down once you've had a sip, this exhibits a riotous array of red and black fruits, wildflowers, dried herbs, licorice root and cocoa nibs. Medium bodied and fragrant in the mouth, too! Gently chewy, well-knit tannins make this wine a total joy to drink in its youth, yet it will still be looking good five to seven years from now."
