Description
Supple, long, savoury and bright, game meat and just ripe red berries in a cavalcade of flavour and delicious texture, rolls long, wonderful, with authority and a general sense of quality.
Lithe and tissue-pappery tannins a treat, the feel just righteous.
It’s a wine that hits the glass with a slosh of ‘yes!’, with the first whiff on the first nostril off an arm’s length.
The first sip a ‘yep!’, and you’re on your way.
It feels fancy and good, complex and interesting, easy on the palate and showing us all what shiraz can do when great.
– Mike Bennie, Wine Front, 95 Points Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz 2018 vintage uses fruit from vines planted in 1973 at the extreme edge of the vineyard.
The fruit was hand harvested with bunches sorted and de-stemmed with no crushing to retain whole berries.
To increase tannin, structure, and interest, some stalks were added back in.
Maturation occurred in 500L French oak puncheons and with only 25% new oak used.
