Our original 30 acres of historically significant vineyard has increased since being established in 1969 and we now farm 90 acres of continuous vineyard in Gruyere.
Made in the traditional, or bottle fermented method. Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to minimise colour and phenolic extraction. The lightly clarified juice transferred to old oak barrels for fermentation. The base wine maturation in barrel lasted for 8 months before sending to tirage. We then left the bottles to rest for 7 years prior to disgorgement, with the wine sitting with its secondary yeast lees to impart texture and complexity.
"Through the years at Yarra Yering, it’s been a slow and constant evolution of learning and understanding…..this can be tasted through the wines and piecing together the stories over time."
—Sarah Crowe (Wine Maker)
Oysters
A pale-yellow hue, the nose evokes the warmth of creamy, toasty brioche complemented by a refreshing hint of lemon balm.
The palate is wonderfully creamy, with a subtle chalky texture that gives way to a bright, citrus-infused finish. The wine's generosity comes from 7 years, or 80 months, of aging on its yeast lees, contributing depth of texture, creaminess, and a delicate, bread-like complexity.
