After studying at Oxford, Carrodus returned to Australia determined to create elegant, sophisticated wines that emulated the great landmarks of Europe. Today, under the exceptionally talented winemaker Sarah Crowe, this historic property operates with a total focus on dry-grown, unirrigated vines planted on ancient gravel and clay soils. For the everyday drinker, this minimal intervention approach means the fruit achieves an incredible natural concentration without the need for artificial watering, resulting in remarkably pure, vibrant wines that possess legendary longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cool-climate wines are celebrated for their incredible freshness, perfume, and understated power, feeling silky and lighter on the palate while carrying an extraordinary depth of flavour. Their iconic white wine, \u003cb\u003eYarra Yering Chardonnay\u003c\/b\u003e, tastes like a beautiful balance of crisp citrus, ripe yellow plum, and a creamy, flinty texture that leaves your mouth watering. On the red side, their delicate Pinot Noir delivers a gorgeous basket of soft field strawberries and sweet cherries, wrapped in fine, silky spices and a touch of savoury earthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than using traditional regional names, the flagship blends here are known simply by numbers, and our single-bottle access allows you to explore them without committing to a full case. \u003cb\u003eYarra Yering Dry Red No. 1\u003c\/b\u003e is their original Bordeaux-style masterpiece, offering a deeply concentrated, structured taste of blackcurrant, cedar wood, and fine, gravelly tannins. If you prefer a softer, more aromatic profile, \u003cb\u003eYarra Yering Dry Red No. 2\u003c\/b\u003e is a stunning Northern Rhône-style blend of Shiraz with a tiny touch of white Viognier, delivering a supple, fleshy palate of dark raspberries, cracked black pepper, and pretty floral aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who love a broader, more muscular red, the \u003cb\u003eYarra Yering Underhill Shiraz\u003c\/b\u003e—sourced from a distinct vineyard block acquired in the 1980s—is deep, savoury, and packed with complex notes of dark plums, smoked meats, and structured spice. The remarkable balance of bright acidity and fine tannins makes these wines exceptionally food-friendly and versatile. While they have the pedigree to evolve beautifully in a cellar for twenty years, they are entirely approachable and rewarding to open right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair the structured Dry Red No. 1 with a classic roast leg of lamb or a rich beef Wellington. The more perfume-driven Dry Red No. 2 and the Underhill Shiraz are magnificent matchings for a weekend steak night or slow-braised duck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYARRA YERING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yarra-yering-dry-red-wine-no-1","title":"Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No.1 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No.1 is a classic claret-style red wine and is the blend on which Yarra Yering’s reputation was built. Always medium-bodied and low in alcohol suggesting delicacy, but nonetheless is a sleeping powerhouse of precision, intensity and concentration that demands a requisite amount of time in bottle to unfurl and allow the drinker in. Principally, the blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (66%) with Merlot (16%), Malbec (15%) and a little Petit Verdot (3%) added to the mix. Aged for 15 months in French oak barriques (40% new) the wine is bottled via gravity and without filtration. Stylish, lifted nose settling into itself after a few years in bottle. A medium-bodied “classic” Bordeaux style featuring a fleshy, fruit-layered palate integrated with earthy complexity. In true Yarra Yering tradition, it combines power with poise, concentration with finesse.
