Yarra Yering New Territories Shiraz Touriga 2023

Established in 1969, Yarra Yering is recognised as one of Australia’s most iconic vineyards. From 29 hectares of dry-grown vines in the Yarra Valley, we produce wines renowned for their signature structure, understated power, and enduring longevity.

Whole berry fermentation was employed with all varieties to encourage the fleshy fruit-full palate. Gentle hand plunging twice daily allows for careful tannin extraction, especially since the Tinta Cão and Touriga Naçional are naturally quite tannic varieties. The individual components spend 9 months in old neutral French oak barriques in our underground barrel cellar before carefully blending for balance and then bottling.

Varietals: 60% Shiraz, 30% Tinta Cao, 10% Touriga Naçional

Vines: Shiraz from our Salamanca block planted in 1995. Touriga Naçional and Tinta Cão sourced from a steep and terraced block nearby, planted in 1990 and 2013. When the 1990 expansion of the vineyard was made, the land was reclaimed from the Warramate Hills bushland and dubbed the New Territories.

Cellaring: This wine has been made to be an early drinking style; fragrant, vibrant and delicious in its youth. It will continue to evolve for some years under suitable cellaring conditions, however this is not required.
