2019 Yeringberg Shiraz 750ml

This classic Yarra Valley Shiraz from Yeringberg is showing those trademark Shiraz characters of cracked black pepper and great fruit weight, there is also some good concentration and a long powdery tannin finish. The de Pury family tradition of excellence in winemaking and farming, which started in 1863, is continued today by fourth-generation siblings Sandra and David de Pury. This wine is a savoury and spicy cool climate shiraz. The grapes we're grown on a steep and stony north facing slope at the Yeringberg vineyard. It will mature gracefully in the cellar for 5-6 years or more. A lot of complexity and savouriness come out to play this vintage, alongside a wonderful coolness across the palate. Expect dark plums, licorice and menthol, juniper, a dash of pepper and roasted root vegetables. It’s fuller- bodied, with a covering of textural tannins and bright acidity. - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2022, 95 points
