Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2015

Description

“Yarra Valley pioneers, the de Pury family are renowned for wines of finesse and elegance that epitomise the finest the region can produce. Produced from some of the oldest vines in the valley, these are long-lived wines made in tiny quantities. Yeringberg makes wines from the low-yielding vines re-established on the heart of what was one of the most famous vineyards of the nineteenth century. In the riper years, the red wines have a velvety generosity of flavour which is rarely encountered, yet never lose varietal character, while the Yeringberg White takes students of history back to Yeringberg’s fame in the nineteenth century.” – James Halliday
Guill de Pury grew up beside the out-of-operation 19th-century winery in Coldstream where a lack of interest in fine table wines had caused production to cease in 1921. In 1969, Guill and wife Katherine decided to replant the vineyard and start again, and gradually restored the reputation of this great Australian estate. Guill has since handed over chief responsibility for the wines to daughter Sandra de Pury.

From the winemaker .. “Bright and energetic, laden with red berries, violets, spiced cherries and musky, plummy depth, the complex nose opens up to reveal savoury cedar and salumi elements, with hints of liquorice. Powerful and elegant on the palate, this is classic Yarra Valley Pinot. It’s fleshy, round and with a gently sappy twist, the super fine tannins frame a wine of real length. With time in the glass, and despite the apparent contradiction, the wine builds in volume and intensity while also looking both fresher and livelier. A lovely wine now, this will cellar beautifully for many years”. – Sandra de Pury
