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.

Made in the traditional style, handpicked bunches were fermented on skins and gently basket pressed. flavoursome, fruit dominant wine with cool climate spiciness.

Rich,ripe fruit was small batch fermented on skins then gently basket pressed. Extended maturation in french oak barriques has allowed the development of a luscious, smooth wine.

Aromas of raspberry, red cherry and forest floor, and flavours of red fruit, with fine tannins and a long finish.

For John Hughes, the attraction to Riesling is all encompassing. Growing up on a small vineyard in the Clare Valley, and going on to work with some of the brightest Riesling makers in the country before launching his own venture, John is never far away from his beloved grape. John makes classic Australian styles from carefully selected vineyards with an emphasis on purity and site reflection, as well as German-inspired expressions that balance acidity and sugar with singular precision.

This is delightfully styled, showing sweet cherry, floral, olive and warm spice aromas, leading to a beautifully smooth palate that's rounded and flowing. A lovely expression of the variety with an immediate appeal. At its best: now to 2028

Supple and softly spiced, with a plush core of dark fruit. Dark plums, rasberries, faint eucalypt and red earth. The magical matrix of generosity and structurethat defines great Clare Shiraz. Really lovely momentum across the palate and beautifully buffed tannins.
