Yarra Yering, Pinot Noir 2021
Est. delivery in August, 2026 Yarra Yering is one of those names that commands quiet reverence in Australian wine. Founded by the late Dr Bailey Carrodus in 1969, it was among the first to prove that the Yarra Valley could produce Pinot Noir of genuine depth and elegance — not just by Australian standards, but by any standard. The 2021 vintage arrived after a cool, measured growing season that gave the fruit exceptional clarity and freshness, and this wine carries that in every sip. In the glass, it's all restraint and precision: taut red fruit, earthy complexity, and a structure that's fine rather than forceful. The tannins are silky but present, and there's a cool-mineral quality that runs through the wine like a thread.
