About The Wine
The Agincourt is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grown on the Gruyere estate.
It's medium-bodied and impeccably balanced. A classic Yarra Valley 'Claret', with dark fruit and a hint of leaf.
It is comprised of 3/4 Cabernet Sauvignon and 1/4 Malbec and will cellar beautifully for up to a decade.
This is the most approachable of Sarah Crowe's excellent 2018 reds. It's the Yarra Yering you can drink now and enjoy while you wait for Dry Red No. 1 & No. 2 to mature.
About 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.

From The Producer
Hand harvested, transferred across a sorting table, destemmed and then crushed into the half-tonne open fermenters. Hand plunged twice daily with some extended time on skins to soften the Cabernet tannins. Maturation in French Bordeaux shaped barrels; only 5% new oak to enhance the juicy fruit palate and immediate enjoyment.
Blend : Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec
Drink Until : 2028

Critic Reviews
Lovely drinking, easy drinking, lots of easy pleasure, plush and soft tannins a feature, mulberry and boysenberry fruit too. Joyous kind of feel, uplifting, fleshy and cuddly, with barley there tannins doing just enough alongside some sprigs of dried herb for detail and added interest, the finish just slightly too lemony tangy sherbetty. Surprisingly lush in profile, flesh and puddles of bombastic character and easy to enjoy. Nice." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
"A wine of absolute charm. It's a 75/25% blend in cabernet's favour though it presents as a seamless whole. Blackcurrant, mulberry, roasted nut and fresh briar flavours come brightened by redcurrant. Tannin has melted in, clean acidity keeps it all fresh and true, the finish feels assured. It will age gracefully and (very) well." - Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
