Description
Yeringberg has long held a reputation for finding the magic sweet spot in Yarra Valley Chardonnay - balancing the richness of traditional styles with the tension of the modern wave. In the cool 2023 vintage, Sandra de Pury has leaned into the season’s delicacy to craft a wine of immense finesse and concentration.
The winemaking here is precise and deliberate. The fruit was fully crushed and destemmed before pressing, then settled and racked to barrel. A mix of wild and inoculated ferments, combined with 30% malolactic fermentation and lees stirring (bâtonnage) over 11 months in oak (30% new), has built a wine of texture and complexity without sacrificing its vibrant core.
Initially restrained, it opens with aromas of just-ripe nectarine, white peach and citrus blossom, evolving into savoury notes of oyster shell, honeysuckle and roasted almond. The palate is shaped by a vibrant energy, where a savoury line of grapefruit and pithy lemon zest frames richer notes of nectarine and lightly toasted brioche. It is pure, concentrated, and effortlessly long - a Chardonnay that will drink beautifully over the next 6–8 years.
95 points - "A combination of natural and inoculated ferments, then racked to hogsheads (30% new) and with 30% mlf. A bright green gold. Expressive, with a tangerine, lemon peel and almond-scented bouquet. A little chalkier and more restrained on the palate than the ’22, this very nicely balanced and structured wine should age gracefully over the next five to seven years at least. 95 points. Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)
95 points - "Vibrant pale gold colour. Yellow peach, Manuka honey and honey butter lead the aromas in a rich-but- restrained aesthetic. Some peanut brittle and toasted almonds emerge thereafter along with whispers of toffee and smoke. The fruit sits above the savouriness after some air, keeping brightness. The balance of opulence and freshness carries over to the palate – smoked honey, butter, poached yellow apple, yellow peach, almond and praline sit within a lovely creamy texture while a fine weave of acidity pulls at the tongue keeping line and
freshness throughout. There’s seemingly endless length here, it surges through the back palate with the mix of fruit and savouriness still intermingling. A very strong release from an icon of the Valley, balancing flavour and freshness. Drink from 2025-2032" - Tom Kline (Inside Burgundy)
95 points - "Aromas of preserved lemons, salted nuts, stone fruit, river stones and apple blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and lovely depth of flavor, finishing with a slight phenolic grip. Very pure and giving, with underlying freshness. Classic and delicious. Drink or hold." - Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)

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.
