Attractive floral notes of white flowers and peach blossom are enhanced by French oak and Rhone-like pepper and spice on the palate.

Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No.2 Yarra Valley Shiraz One of three wines from Yarra Yering featured in the original 1990 Langtons Classification, Dry Red No. 2 is recognised as the first Côte Rôtie style wine made by anyone in Australia. Its fruit is sourced from 1973 plantings of Shiraz, often backed by small amounts of Mataro, Marsanne and Viognier. A highly collectable and cellar-worthy offering from one of the cornerstone wineries of the Yarra Valley.

This cool-climate expression of Shiraz is the beneficiary of the philosophy, methodology and stylistic approach applied to its more senior stablemates. The aim for this blend was to achieve a balance of weight, immediacy, generosity and drinkability with subtle restraint. Enticing aromas of red berries, white pepper, Russian Caravan tea, porcini mushroom broth, musk stick, nutmeg, fennel, peat & herbal mutterings of stalks. The juicy palate evokes a red dark fruit balance redolent of red cherry & mulberry with a spice influence of sumac & tamarind paste. Dark chocolate and smoked paprika flavours combine to elongate the detailed palate. A fine acidity draws the palate long with talc-like tannins inlaid, building fruit weight to a resonant finish. Suitable for vegans.
