Yarra Yering Dry Red No 2 2023

Our Verdict

Yarra Yering a vinous Australian icon has released its coveted 2023 wines and our allocation has arrived.

The leadership of winemaker Sarah Crowe has elevated the estate to be one of Australia's most awarded wineries. The incredible quality of Yarra Yering makes it hard to pick a favourite but it is the classic No.1 and No.2 that get most of the airplay. But (and this has been a slow train a-coming) Sarah has finessed the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to match the best of their Yarra peers.

“Dense ruby with rich purple tones at the rim. Blueberry, ground cumin and fennel with a touch of reductive lift on the nose. Loaded with blue fruits at the core, intense yet not overbearing. There’s layers of cured meats, subtle Sichuan pepper spice and floral lifts along the line with deeper wakame and iodine tones underneath. It’s all bound by a supple acidity and finely wrought tannins, gentle in their guidance but resolute in their persistence, carrying it for an age to an eventual bright and fresh finish.” 98 Points - Stuart Knox, The Real Review
