Yarra Yering, founded in 1969 by the visionary Dr. Bailey Carrodus, is one of the Yarra Valley’s most influential and enduring estates. Its 28 hectares of dry‑grown vines sit at the base of the Warramate Hills, producing elegant, age‑worthy wines shaped by a minimalist, site‑first philosophy. Now owned by a small group of private investors following Carrodus’s passing in 2008, the domaine has only strengthened its reputation under winemaker Sarah Crowe, whose precision and restraint have elevated Yarra Yering into the very top tier of Australian wine.
Yarra Yering "Agincourt" Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2016 is made from 80% Cabernet sauvignon and 20% Malbec in Australia's Yarra Valley. It shows classic Cabernet Sauvignon characters of cassis and dark berry fruits, along with a unique leafy herbaceousness. The Malbec plays its part with inky robust plum and black cherry and ample tannins to provide beautifully balanced structure.
95 James Suckling The purity of fruit really takes your breath away with notes of sheer currants. They’re quickly joined by darker plums, creme de cassis, quartz, baking spices, blueberries, bark, pine needles, cinnamon, leather, tobacco and underbrush. The palate sports a very impressive balance of bright blue fruits and darker plummy flavors. There is also a seriously structured, firm tannin backbone that intertwines with the seemingly ever-present acidity. A long, persistent finish.
