Description

Babyberg is where Sandra de Pury gets to play. It’s a new project for Yeringberg’s younger vines, with a bit more freedom in the winemaking and a fresh take on what the estate can be. This white blend flips the classic Marsanne/Roussanne combo on its head, bringing texture, grip and a more savoury vibe into the mix.

The Marsanne makes up the bulk of it and spent about three weeks on skins, adding structure and a bit of chew. The Roussanne was pressed straight to old barrels to keep its perfume and balance things out. It all came together in old oak for 10 months, and was bottled as is – no fining, no filtration.

It’s got a soft golden glow and opens with gentle florals, dried herbs, stone fruit and spice. The palate is layered and textural but still really fresh – more food wine than poolside sipper, and all the better for it

Over the past three years, we’ve been busy planting new vines on rootstock to future-proof our vineyard and ensure Yeringberg wines will continue to be made for generations to come. We have also changed the vineyard orientation and aspect to mitigate against climate change.

The Babyberg range will be made from the youngest vines at Yeringberg, planted from 2020–2025. These vines are grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstock and will eventually become the future vines of the Yeringberg label. In the meantime, we plan to make experimental and diverse wines under the Babyberg label.

In 2023, we made the first wine in this range—a skin-contact white blend. Another (slightly different) white blend and a Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend from vintage 2024 are destined for the Babyberg range.

Yeringberg

There are few wineries in the Yarra Valley with the prestigious history of Yeringberg. The de Pury family were pioneers of the region, having one of the first vineyards in the region over 100 years ago.

The original vineyard was ripped out when the demand for Australian wine slowed to a trickle, however, the site was replanted in the 1970s and is one of the great sites of the modern Yarra. You will see Chardonnay, Roussanne and Marsanne as well as a little Viognier in whites, a little Pinot Noir and Shiraz as well as their elite Cabernet blend - one of the most collectable in the country.

Everything is done traditionally in the winery, the trends of the modern day don't extend past the winery doors. In James Halliday's opinion, "...(Yeringberg) are renowned for wines of finesse and elegance that epitomise the finest the region can produce."
