5 Star Winery - Halliday Wine Companion Yeringberg releases radiate quality and history, Sandra De Pury is a wine making legend, very humble considering her achievements. These are collectable, highly sought-after wines.  Even though their flagship wine is their Cabernet, there is a good argument that every wine from Yeringberg flies the flag as a benchmark for the Yarra Valley. "Yarra Valley pioneers, the De Pury family are renowned for wines of finesse and elegance that epitomise the finest the region can produce. Produced from some of the oldest vines in the valley, these are long-lived wines made in tiny quantities. Yeringberg makes wines from the low-yielding vines re-established on the heart of what was one of the most famous vineyards of the nineteenth century. In the riper years, the red wines have a velvety generosity of flavour which is rarely encountered, yet never lose varietal character, while the Yeringberg White takes students of history back to Yeringberg's fame in the nineteenth century.” - James Halliday

Awards:

“The colour is relatively light: full red with a tinge of purple. Superb freshness and elegance, medium-bodied and delicious, complex and multi-layered. A great wine, with a magical array of flavours. All manner of berries and spices, dried flowers, dried herbs and dried fruits. Silky soft tannins. Refreshing on the finish. Not such a big fruit style, but deliciously drinkable and moreish." - Huon Hooke 98 points. 

Dark ruby with a little purple. Cabernet nose! Love that this smells like its five varietal components. There’s a hint of zucchini or herbs, rose water, raspberry and red fruit. The beautiful balance here makes this very fresh, life affirming and with fine but punctuating tannins... the spice and herbs giving this authenticity. Really rather delicious." - Andrew Graham, Australian Wine Review 95 points.
