Family article for "Yarra Yering Dry Red N°2" |
| (last edited 10/8/2023 11:46:14 PM by LindsayM) Varieties Shiraz, Viognier, Mataro, Marsanne Vineyard The Shiraz and Marsanne for this blend was established in 1969, plus additional Shiraz, Mataro and Viognier drawn from vines planted from 1984 to 1995. Winemaking Fruit is handpicked, bunch sorted and destemmed directly to the Yarra Yering half-tonne open-fermenters. As much whole berry as possible is retained to encourage perfume. Some stalks are added back to some of the fermenters in order to contribute structure and aroma. Some fermenters have added frozen Viognier skins to the bottom, some have Marsanne skins. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, 30% new before blending and bottling. Wine A wine style that has always been blended for perfume, texture and spice. Fragrance enhanced by the Viognier balanced with a mixed berry fruit profile. Marsanne lends texture and volume to the palate, Mataro the floral notes and spice. Primary fruit leads on to savoury graphite and white pepper underpinned by background stalkiness and concentrated meatiness.
