YARRA YERING Underhill Shiraz 2014 Bottle - NO DISCOUNT

Description

VARIETY
100% Shiraz

AROMA
Heady black plum fruits and pretty violet aromatics interlaced with liquorice spice and nettle undergrowth.

PALATE
The heavier clay based soils produces wine dark fruits and spice, chewy tannins creating the framework to support the fruit and savoury undertones.

WINEMAKING
Hand harvested and destemmed with no crushing to retain whole berries, directly to the Yarra Yering half-tonne open fermenters. Baskets of stems were introduced to the fermenters to increase structure and complexity. Basket pressed and aged for 18 months in French oak puncheons (500L) with only 30% new oak.

CELLARING
Drinking beautifully at present but this vineyard has a proven pedigree and track record thus it will continue to evolve for a further 20+ years under suitable cellaring.
