YARRA YERING AGINCOURT 2022 - red

Style: Spicy & BrightIn Sep 2008, founder Bailey Carrodus died and in Apr 2009 Yarra Yering was on the market. It was Bailey Carrodus’s clear wish and expectation that any purchaser would continue to manage the vineyard and winery, and hence the wine style, in much the same way as he had done for the previous 40 years. Its acquisition by a small group of investment bankers fulfilled that wish. The low-yielding, unirrigated vineyards have always produced wines of extraordinary depth and intensity. Dry Red No. 1 is a cabernet blend; Dry Red No. 2 is a shiraz blend; Dry Red No. 3 is a blend of touriga nacional, tinta cão, tinta roriz, tinta amarela, alvarelhão and sousão. The Underhill is from a single block of shiraz planted in 1973 (from an adjacent vineyard purchased by Yarra Yering in 1987). Sarah Crowe was appointed winemaker after the 2013 vintage. She has made red wines of the highest imaginable quality right from the start, transitioning the range to screw caps. For good measure, she also introduced the Light Dry Red Pinot Shiraz in 2014, and was named Winemaker of the Year 2017. JAMES HALLIDAYPerfume is the signature of this wine with lifted violets, bramble and berry fruits. Refreshing fruit flavours include mulberries and blueberries. Some nettle presents a cool leafy lift and clove spices dance with vibrant acidity and an elegant fruit drive. The Malbec component brings the acid crunch to the wine. A wine of wonderful fruit purity with some mocha warmth and fresh leather aromas. YARRA YERINGRegion: Yarra Valley, VICTORIAVariety: Cabernet blend ABV: 13.5% Liquor Act 2007.
