ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
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.

THE VINTAGE:
2021 was an excellent vintage. The cooler growing season, with perfect day and night temperatures allowed for lovely natural balance in the fruit. No manipulation from the vineyard crew was required: these types of vintages produce some of the best fruit the vineyard has seen.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
Situated just 45 kilometres east of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is a large and diverse cool-climate wine region. Its elevation spectacularly ranges from lows of 50m to heights of 1,250m, due to the influence of the Great Dividing Range. The region is characterised by significant rainfall during winter and spring, which helps to nourish the vines throughout the dry, but cool summers. The estate-grown Pinot Noir vines are between 15 to 25 years old and are planted in vineyards in Yarra Glen, Yering and Coldstream. Additional grower fruit comes from a very cold site in Mount Alexander. The vines are clones D-Clone and MV6, and are cane pruned and VSP trained, which suits the terroir made up of Duplex grey loam over yellow clay. The cooler site allows for excellent diurnal temperature shifts, which imbues the fruit with intense aromatics and natural, refreshing acidity.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
This wine was made in a soft and approachable style. The grapes were fermented in a combination of Potter, Roto and open fermenters at controlled temperatures using selected yeasts to retain the purity and freshness of the cool-climate fruit. Following fermentation, the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks to retain the pure Pinot Noir characters.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
Rich and soft with vibrant, plush flavours of juicy cherries and pomegranate, along with a savoury and spicy lift. Cool-climate Pinot in a silky, approachable style.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Pinot Noir 100%.
