Ranked #2 of 59 2023 Chardonnays from Yarra Valley, The Real Review
Bright light to mid yellow colour; there are youthful apple, pear and steely mineral aromas, the palate is taut and refined, tensioned and properly dry, with an appetising finish and aftertaste. Tight but concentrated. An impressive wine: lovely flavour, freshness, focus and persistence. Beautiful now and will reward cellaring. 98PTS Huon Hooke

From the two original chardonnay blocks. Barrel fermented in barriques (25% new) and zero mlf. While the Crécy chardonnay is plusher and more open knit, this beautifully crafted wine is tighter and more mineral in style. Subtle scents of stone fruits and fresh sea spray together with a gentle nuttiness. Beautifully balanced and structured, finishing saline and very long. A superb wine that, while good now, is 2–3 years away, at least, from beginning to reach its zenith. 97PTS Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion

Producer

Yarra Yering

In September 2008, founder Bailey Carrodus died, and in April 09 Yarra Yering was on the market. It was Bailey Carrodus clear wish and expectation that any purchaser would continue to manage the vineyard and winery, and hence the wine style, in much the same way as he had done for the previous 40 years. Its acquisition in June 09 by a small group of investment bankers seems to have fulfilled that wish. The low-yielding, unirrigated vineyards have always produced wines of extraordinary depth and intensity. Dry Red No. 1 is a cabernet blend; Dry Red No. 2 is a shiraz blend; Dry Red No. 3 is a blend of touriga, tinta cao, tinta amarela, tinta roriz and souzao; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are not hidden behind delphic numbers; Underhill Shiraz is from an adjacent vineyard purchased by Yarra Yering over a decade ago; and Potsorts is an extraordinary vintage port style made from the same varieties as Dry Red No. 3. Sarah Crowe, who had carved a remarkable reputation as a winemaker in the Hunter Valley in a relatively short time, was appointed winemaker in the wake of Paul Bridgemans departure to Levantine Hill after the 13 vintage.
