Description
Second label of Yarra Yering made by Sarah Crowe, James Halliday’s 2017 Winemaker of the Year.
The Warramate vineyard was first planted in 1969 on a spectacular north-facing slope overlooking the central Yarra Valley. The site adjoins the Yarra Yering vineyard located above. On the other side of Maddens Lane, there is Yeringberg and Mount Mary. Pedigree in spades here in the Yarra Valley’s finest dirt.
This is a gorgeous, elegant and intensely perfumed Pinot Noir.
A number of small ferments with varying percentages of whole bunch to add layers and lift. Hand plunged before gravity filling to oak barrles (20% new) in the underground cellar).
From the winemaker … “A highly perfumed aroma of rose petals and violets, the fruit profile red raspberry and red cherry. A lift of stalk heightens the spice element. Vibrant red fruits dominate with red raspberry leading the energetic charge, bright acidity brings a very refreshing elegant fruit palate. Some stalk tannin and minimal new oak (20%) offer background structure.
An elegant and intensely perfumed Pinot Noir made to be enjoyed while young and bright. It will continue to evolve for up to 5 years. 13% alc.
Review of 2019
90 points, James Halliday Wine Companion “A range of small ferments, varying percentages of whole bunches, mlf, 20% new oak. So enticing with bracken, briar, Aussie bush, leafy, red fruits aromas. Deceptively subtle, light in body and delicate in fruit. Youthful and vibrant.” – Jeni Port, 1st April 2020.
