Yarra Yering Underhill Shiraz 2013
The Yarra Yering Underhill is a 100% Shiraz sourced exclusively from the unirrigated 8 acre block of Shiraz planted in 1973 at the western extremity of Yarra Yering. Basket pressed and aged for 18 months in French oak (30% new) the wine is bottled via gravity and without filtration. Heady plum fruits and pretty violet aromatics interlaced with liquorice spice and hint of cracked pepper. On the palate blood plums and cigar oak with a violet floral lift from the inclusion of stalk during fermentation. The heavier clay based soils produces wine dark fruits and spice, chewy tannins creating the framework to support the fruit and savoury undertones. A high inclusion of stalks are added back as well as some 100% whole bunch fermentation wine to lend juiciness plus extra cut and persistent tannins to the sweeping finish.
