Yering Station RESERVE Shiraz Viognier Yarra Valley Victoria
Description: Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, the winery was built by Paul de Castella in 1859 from hand-made bricks, it originally housed some very advanced wine-making equipment that Paul de Castella had imported from France. A blend of Shiraz 95% and Viognier 5% the fruit comes primarily from the same vineyard that produced the 1997 and 1998 Reserve Shiraz. The grapes come from a small 2.5 acre vineyard planted in the mid 1980's on an easterly aspect. The vines are typically low cropping and in 2001 produced just 1.2 tonnes of grapes per acre. This wine represents a change in winemaking technique and style for Yering Station. The addition of a small amount of Viognier to fermenting grapes is a technique used for many years by the producers in the Northern Rhone appelation Cote Rotie and applied with quite some success to this Yering Station Reserve. Dark red wine with spice and black pepper aromas dominating the nose, underneath there is a complex array of violet, blackberry jam, liquorice and fine oak. The wine has a silky rich palate with wonderful poise. There are layers of concentrated fine-grained tannins with loads of powerful fruit supporting. The flavours cascade through the palate and provide a wonderful length of flavour. (6 x 75 cl)

Yering Station RESERVE Chardonnay Yarra Valley Victoria
Description: Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, the winery was built by Paul de Castella in 1859 from hand-made bricks, it originally housed some very advanced wine-making equipment that Paul de Castella had imported from France. The Chardonnay grapes for this wine were harvested at optimum flavour intensity during the month of March. Two different Yarra Valley vineyards were handled individually in the winery to achieve greater complexity. All the juice was cold settled in tank with a large portion of solids added at racking then transferred to oak for fermentation using 50 % wild yeast and lees stirring. The wine was aged in 60% new French oak barrels for a year and in bottle for a further year. This Chardonnay is a Pale straw colour with a nose of refined citrus, peach and fig characters, a touch of floral with some subtle oak complexity and hints of hazelnut and cream. The palate is focused, intense and finely structured, displaying exceptional purity of flavour, fine acidity and length. (6 x 75 cl)

Yering Station YARRABANK Cuvee Brut Sparkling Yarra Valley
Description: Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, the winery was built by Paul de Castella in 1859 from hand-made bricks, it originally housed some very advanced wine-making equipment that Paul de Castella had imported from France. A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, it undertakes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tank, but no malolactic fermentation, and a minimum of 3 years bottle ageing. This sparkling wine is a Pale straw colour, with excellent persistent fine bead forming a delicate crown and a fine elegant bouquet of almond, pear and croissant aromas. The palate is elegant with harmonious nutty yeast and fruit complexities. The wine has a rich creamy mouthfeel with complex autolysis characters in the middle palate and a crisp finish with a lingering after-taste. The reserve wine adds weight and complexity and the 3 years ageing provides the overall balance and array of flavours. The finish is wonderfully long and intense. Ready to consume now it will age gracefully for the next 10 years. (6 x 75 cl)
