Wine Region: Yarra Valley (Gruyere), Australia

Tasting Notes
Fragrant red berry bouquet with a touch of spice and savouriness. A long, fine palate with plenty of mouth-filling expressive red berry and spice flavours. Good rounded tannin integration building on the finish.. Has a long life ahead.
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.
