Yeringberg Shiraz 2023

The 2023 Yeringberg Shiraz is a refined expression of cool-climate Shiraz from one of the Yarra Valley’s most respected historic estates, crafted under the guidance of fourth-generation winemaker Sandra de Pury. Sourced from vines planted in 1999, the wine incorporates a tiny portion of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, lending aromatic lift and subtle textural intrigue to the final blend.

In the glass it reveals a vibrant crimson hue and an alluring perfume of spiced red cherries, ripe raspberries and crushed violets, layered with hints of white and black pepper that reflect its cool-growing conditions. The palate is poised and medium-bodied, favouring elegance over sheer power, with finely woven tannins that glide effortlessly across the tongue. Bright natural acidity brings freshness and structure, supporting a core of pure fruit while allowing savoury complexity to quietly unfold. Thoughtful oak maturation adds gentle framing without overshadowing the wine’s varietal clarity or sense of place. The 2023 vintage captures Yeringberg’s signature harmony with intensity balanced by restraint, making it both immediately appealing and suitable for careful cellaring.

With time, further nuances of spice, earth and florals are expected to emerge, rewarding patience. This is a Shiraz of precision and pedigree, equally suited to refined dining or contemplative enjoyment.
