Yarra Yering: A Legacy of Australian Excellence

Posted in:

    Established in 1969 by Dr. Bailey Carrodus, Yarra Yering stands as a testament to passion, perseverance, and a profound understanding of viticulture. Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia, Dr. Carrodus embarked on a journey to create wines that showcased the unique terroir of the region. His meticulous approach to winemaking and his commitment to quality laid the foundation for what would become one of Australia's most iconic wineries.

    Dr. Carrodus was a visionary who recognized the potential of the Yarra Valley to produce exceptional wines. Armed with his knowledge of horticulture and a deep appreciation for traditional winemaking techniques, he planted vines on the sun-drenched slopes of the Yarra Valley. His dedication to crafting wines of distinction quickly earned Yarra Yering a reputation for excellence.

     


    Today, Yarra Yering continues to uphold Dr. Carrodus's legacy under the stewardship of winemaker Sarah Crowe. Crowe, who joined the winery in 2013, brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the table. Her dedication to preserving the heritage of Yarra Yering while pushing boundaries has earned her widespread acclaim. Crowe's intuitive winemaking style has garnered numerous awards and accolades, solidifying Yarra Yering's position as a leader in Australian wine.
