Yarra Yering Amphora 2024

In their words - A modern interpretation of an Australian classic. A highly aromatic fruit and floral nose incorporating primary berries and plums with a green herbal lift from the Cabernet component. The entry is all fruit and juicy, then the tannins take a different and savoury form. An iodine and earthen rustic feel to the palate leave you with a dry, savoury finish embedded into the fruit profile.

Hand harvested fruit, berry sorted to remove any undesirable berries or green material, gravity filled to two clay amphora. Hand plunged twice daily for a gentle extraction of the whole berries during fermentation, then left on skins for a further 2 months before separation of the wine from skins and seeds. Maturation back  in the clay amphora for a total of 12 months.

The slow microoxygenation in the slightly porous amphora softens grape tannins while preserving the fruit purity and terroir.

60% Shiraz 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
