- This wine has many personalities and offers complexity and sweet and savoury layers. The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, plums, savoury spices, and brambles. This fragrant style is approachable as a young wine but, with some bottle maturation, will evolve into a beautifully complex wine. This blend has a track record; thus, it will continue to evolve for 20+ years under suitable cellaring conditions should you want to cellar it for an extended period.
Yarra Yering is one of the oldest and most beautiful vineyards in Victoria Yarra Valley with 28 hectares of vines located at the foot of the Warramate Hills. Established in 1969 by Dr Bailey Carrodus, the 1973 vintage saw production of the first vintage of Dry Red Wine No. 1 and Dry Red Wine No. 2. Yarra Yering quickly gained an international reputation for quality and individuality and paved the way for other Yarra Valley wineries. We invite you to explore our wine and discover more about our history, present and future. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People as the traditional custodians of the land that we call Yarra Yering and their connections to land, water and community and pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People today.

Winery | Although wine was an important industry in the Yarra Valley throughout the 1800s, by the 1920s, it had largely halted as farmers favoured the greater returns available from sheep farming. It took the vision of a now legendary plant physiologist and Roseworthy winemaking graduate, Dr Bailey Carrodus, to help re-establish the Yarra Valley as one of Australia’s pre-eminent wine regions. After several years of careful research, in 1969, he purchased land at the foot of the Warramate Hills and, in 1973, produced the first vintages of his now iconic Dry Red Wine No.1 and Dry Red Wine No.2. Dr Carrodus continued to make the wines until he died in 2008 when the winery was purchased by businessmen Ed Peter and Reid Bosward. Both long-term fans of Yarra Yering continue to honour the founder’s quest for elegance and sophistication, ably supported by winemaker Sarah Crowe, who in 2017 was named Winemaker of the Year by James Halliday. |
