A finely detailed Yarra Valley Pinot Noir with red-fruit purity, savoury nuance and Yeringberg elegance.
Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2023 is a poised, cool climate Pinot that leans into fragrance, clarity and fine structure rather than weight. Bright red fruits sit at the core, supported by gentle spice and savoury detail, with tannins kept silky and precise. It’s a beautifully composed expression that opens up with air and has the balance to age gracefully.
Halliday Wine Companion - 96 Points
Made from MV6 and an old clone from Great Western planted between ’69 and ’74. Fully destemmed and 38% new oak. A bright ruby red. Old vines, low yields and a cool year have produced another terrific Yeringberg pinot. Gently meaty with aromas of black cherry, blueberry, brown spices and lightly crushed violets. Concentrated, structured and long, this kept opening up with air, meaning that, while it can be approached now, you really want to have a bottle or three when it begins to hit its peak over the next five to 10 years plus.

Tasting Notes
Aroma: Wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry with hints of rose petal, dried herbs and gentle spice.
Palate: Medium bodied and finely textured, showing vibrant red fruit, subtle earth and savoury complexity with polished tannins.
Finish: Long, lifted and persistent with clean acidity and a refined, savoury close.
Serving Suggestions
