Yarra Valley, Australia

2021 was an excellent vintage. The cooler growing season, with perfect day and night temperatures, resulted in lovely natural balance. No manipulation in the vineyard was required, this vintage has produced some of the best fruit the vineyard has seen.

Elegant and refined, with complex aromas of white florals, stone fruit and perfumed spice from French oak. Fresh and precise with a lovely texture, savoury almond notes and exceptional length.

Producer Information

With vines being first planted in 1838 by Scottish-born Ryrie brothers, Yering Station was the first vineyard in Victoria State. The brothers acquired 17,400 hectares and planted two grape varieties at the time -‘Black Cluster’ and ‘Sweet Water’. In 1850, the site was sold to a Swiss-French immigrant, Paul de Castella. He increased the vineyard by a further 20 hectares, sourcing vines from around the globe including some from Chateau Lafite. A jewel in the Yarra Valley crown, Yering Station produces world-class cool climate wines from its revered vineyards which are famously abound with expressive varietal flavour and integrity.

Winemaking

The Chardonnay grapes were barrel fermented with a combination of wild and selected yeasts, lasting 10 days. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion, retaining balancing acidity. It was racked to 500-litre French oak puncheons, of which 20% were new, where it spent 10 months maturing.
