Yarra Yering is an icon of Australian wine. Since the Sarah Crowe era commenced in 2014, this jewel of the Yarra Valley has gone from strength to strength.
In 2021, Sarah capitalised on one of the best vintages since her time there and has a sublime set of red wines on her hands. Yarra Yering was named the No.1 Winery in the Country by Huon Hooke's The Real Review upon the release of these world class wines. Here you can sample all four of the classic Yarra Yering reds in one pack.
2021 Yarra Yering Dry Red No 1
The Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1 is comprised of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small parcels of Malbec and Petit Verdot from one of the great sites of the Yarra Valley.
The individual parcels are fermented in small open-top tea-chest fermenters, the final blend crafted to showcase each individual season on this iconic Yarra Valley estate.
This is a glorious wine, a benchmark of the famous Yarra Valley Cabernet wine style.
It's a wine destined for great things. Winemaker Sarah Crowe knocked this out of the park. It should be an essential part of any serious Australian cellar.

"At once emphatically fragrant and lighter than air and yet deeper, more concentrated, more enduring and more structured. No Australian wine of modern era exemplifies this profound juxtaposition more emphatically than Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No.1 2021."

"Powerful and balanced with lots of layers. Ripe, chewy tannins course through the wine's concentrated fruit, yet the overall impression is one of balance and harmony. A serious and complete cabernet."

"It drinks superbly now but leave it alone for a few years and watch it grow and build more detail. Very stylish wine."
- Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
2021 Yarra Yering Dry Red No 2
The Dry Red No. 2 from the great Yarra Yering vineyard is a unique look at Yarra Valley Shiraz.
Yarra Yering founder, Dr. Bailey Carrodous, was inspired by the great blends of the Rhone Valley when he first conceived this wine.
It's predominantly Shiraz with a tiny portion of both Mataro and Viognier blended in for enhanced complexity. It's a vibrant yet eminently cellar-worthy style of Shiraz and one of the most collected in the country.
The balance is impeccable and will mature majestically for decades to come.

"The wine is medium-full bodied and it has intensity and drive without excessive weight, the tannins chiming in with drying grip and sapidity as it drives long on the finish and resonates through its authoritative aftertaste. Superb."

"An interesting contrast between this, the Underhill Shiraz and the Carrodus Shiraz, the No. 2 red may end up being the most long-lived of this terrific trio in 2021."

2021 Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz
The Underhill Shiraz comes from 8 acres of vines on the far Western side of the famous Yarra Yering vineyard in Gruyere.
Planted by Dr. Carrodus in 1973, the wines from this site tend to show better in their youth than the brooding powerhouse that is the Dry Red No. 2.
Underhill is approachable from day one, however, a few years in the cellar wouldn't hurt it either. This is yet another fantastic release from Sarah Crowe, bold and full-flavoured.
If you love Shiraz/Syrah from the Yarra Valley, this wine would make an excellent addition to your cellar.

A medium–deep and very bright crimson. Lifted and immediately appealing with its aromas of black raspberries and violets alongside a cornucopia of spices including cracked black pepper, anise and fennel seeds. A gorgeous medium-weighted, intensely flavoured and long Yarra Valley shiraz with enough tannin to suggest patience will be rewarded. Great stuff." - Philip Rich97 points
"Deep, strong and bright purple-red colour; high-toned white pepper aromas, a whiff of reduction; char, spice and meaty smallgoods aromas. A full-bodied, powerful, soft and fleshy textured wine with ample powdery tannins and a lasting array of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and pepper characters. Amazing length. A ripping shiraz." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
2021 Yarra Yering Agincourt Cabernet Malbec
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. Definitely the most approachable of Sarah Crowe's excellent reds.
It's the Yarra Yering you can drink now and enjoy while you wait for Dry Red No. 1 & No. 2 to mature.
96 points
"Elegant, medium bodied and with super-supple tannins, Sarah Crowe has crafted an approachable and seductive cabernet. The well-deserved winner of the Best Cabernet Blend trophy at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show."

Ordering
We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
- The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
- We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
- We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
- It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.
- It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.
We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.
At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!
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.
We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.
To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you.
If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.
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.
