Yarra Yering Pinot Noir 2018

Wine Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia

Grape: Pinot Noir 

Tasting Notes

Bright crimson. Violet perfumed nose, mixed cherry fruits with a pinch of aniseed spice.
Cherry fruits explode on the palate then transform into the classic Pinot silky smooth palate. Elegance combined with fine tannin structure. A medium-bodied yet powerful style so immediately delicious.

About the Winery

In 1973 Dr Bailey Carrodus released the first commercial vintage of wine from the Yarra Valley since 1923. The wines reflect this highly individual man, the site he chose so carefully, and the vagaries of the seasons in which they are produced. Today, Yarra Yering's Winemaker Sarah Crowe is honouring the tradition that Dr Carrodus started in 1969. She is focusing on giving individual blocks and varieties the time and attention they deserve to continue making high quality wine.
