Yering Yarra Pinot Noir
After spending the past 3 years in our cellar programme, the 2017 Yering Station "Yarra" Pinot Noir emerges in all of its autumnal glory. The soft red fruit and violet aroma is now nuanced with the brambly undergrowth character that many "pinotphiles" seek. Tasted in October, 2022, this is a wine at its peak, although another year in your cellar will do no harm.
