Description

Yarra Yering can do no wrong under the guidance of winemaking master Sarah Crowe, and this Chardonnay is yet another stellar release.

Coming from 1969-planted vines, this wonderful white wine is detailed and powerful all at once, with the length and complexity to keep you coming back to your glass for more.

One of the Yarra's finest Chardonnays and great to either drink now, or for the cellar. Extremely limited.

"The palate has real drive and energy, finishing pithy and long. A wine that will cellar effortlessly over the next six to eight years."

"Yarra Yering Chardonnay feels both traditional and modern at once."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

97 points - "From the two original chardonnay blocks. Barrel fermented in barriques (30% new) and no mlf. A discreet and complex bouquet of white peach, orange blossom and just a little struck match; another compelling Yarra Yering chardonnay. The palate has real drive and energy, finishing pithy and long. A wine that will cellar effortlessly over the next six to eight years." - Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points - "Light, bright yellow colour with fresh green-apple, oatmeal and nashi pear aromas, fruit driving the bouquet, the palate intense and focused, concentrated and long, with subtlety, delicacy and yet also restrained power, and bright acidity. Some toasty nut flavours join in the party with time in the glass. A very smart chardonnay with a lot of class." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

95 points - "Yarra Yering Chardonnay feels both traditional and modern at once. It’s tight, zesty and fresh, with excellent fruit quality and power, though it also flashes a bit of (integrated) oak at you, which personally I enjoy (in chardonnay). White peach, custard apples, cedarwood and spice characters come infused with toast, cinnamon and smoked hay notes. It’s firm, long and delicious; you could drink this now or, just as easily, cellar it for a decade. From all angles this wine is immaculate." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Oyster shells, sea spray, and lemon citrus fruits on the nose. Finesse meets a pillowy fruit weight on the palate; fine-boned, precise citrus line in its youth, a green apple crunch for freshness, pithy interest, and a pulsating energy, it has power and extraordinary carry. The fruit is supported by a lovely powdery-chalky texture that lingers, with bright acidity giving a delicious, moreish edge.

Yarra Yering

Yarra Yering is one of the most iconic wineries of the modern Yarra Valley.

Founded in 1969 by the visionary vigneron Dr. Bailey Carrodous, Yarra Yering has become a benchmark in quality and one of the most collected wineries in the country.

From this small patch of earth in the North of the Gruyere sub-region, Dr. Carrodous produced these legendary wines for more than three decades. In the process becoming recognised as one of the most influential winemakers in the Yarra's history.

Today, the wines are crafted by the talented Sarah Crowe. She brings the wines to bottle with the same passion and attention to detail that made the great Yarra Yering wines of old so revered.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
