Sourced exclusively off the unirrigated eight acre block, established 1973 at the western extremity of Yarra Yering. Cool climate new world Shiraz starts here. A high inclusion of stalks and whole bunches are added back to the traditional half tonne open tea chest fermenters to lend juiciness plus extra cut and persistent tannins to the sweeping finish. Basket pressed and aged eighteen months in a high proportion of new French oak. A slight westerly aspect and propitious clay soils yield a wine that's a perfect foil for the feminine Dry Red No.2

Deep garnet red. Heady plum fruits and pretty violet aromatics interlaced with liquorice spice and hint of cracked pepper. Blood plums and cigar oak with a violet floral lift from the inclusion of stalk during fermentation. The heavier clay based soils make a wine of dark fruits and spice, chewy tannins creating the framework in support of savouryness and fruit.

The uncompromising pursuit of excellence brings the Yealands team to the extreme viticultural climes of Gibbston Valley in Central Otago. It is here under the frigid cloudless night skies that Pinot Noir vines, planted to undulating granite schist soils, struggle to yield harvests of parched grapes, redolent with cherry berry perfumes, bursting with an intensity of flavour and wrapped in a muslin of seamless, velvet tannins. Treated to a year in a proportion of new French oak barriques, the Otago Pinot of choice to match with red meats, lamb roasts and game.

Rich, opulent fruit aromas of macerated plum, black berries and black cherry, raspberries, currant and strawberries and compote. A flourish of deep spice and dark chocolate, a splendid, lingering finish on a length of bright, crisp raspberry acidity.
