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.

Made from MV6 and an old clone from Great Western planted between ’69 and ’74. Fully destemmed and 38% new oak. A bright ruby red. Old vines, low yields and a cool year have produced another terrific Yeringberg pinot. Gently meaty with aromas of black cherry, blueberry, brown spices and lightly crushed violets. Concentrated, structured and long, this kept opening up with air, meaning that, while it can be approached now, you really want to have a bottle or three when it begins to hit its peak over the next five to 10 years plus.

Medium deep and vibrant ruby red colour. Dark cherry, undergrowth and Jamon Iberico aromatics. The palate opens with bright cherry fruits, while layers of cinnamon, anise and clove ebb and flow across the tongue. Notes of jamon and loam deepen the impression. Acidity lingers to lift the middle, while fine sandy tannins build intensity into a very long finish. Power, poise and precision are all present, making it highly food friendly.
