TASTING NOTES

Yarra Yering Dry Red No 3 2021 is a masterful expression of complexity and elegance from one of Australia's most celebrated wineries. This medium-bodied red blend captivates with its super lifted and complex profile, showcasing an enticing bouquet of lavender, satsuma plum, and liquorice spice. The harmonious interplay of summer berries and plums is elevated by the fragrant blue fruit energy of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cão, while Tinta Roriz adds a savory depth that perfectly complements the floral and herbal notes of Tinta Amarela.

The finesse of Alvarelhão and the vibrant acidity of Sousão work in tandem to tighten and brighten the palate, creating a long, driven finish that lingers with remarkable intensity. This wine’s intricate layers reveal rich aromas of violets, blackcurrants, Szechuan pepper, blackstrap licorice, and Mediterranean herbs, supported by fine tannins and a vibrant raspberry-like acidity that elevate it well beyond the ordinary.

Recognized for its exceptional quality, the 2021 vintage earned Yarra Yering the prestigious Winery of the Year award from Huon Hooke of The Real Review. It has also garnered multiple accolades including the Gold Medal and Trophy for Best Other Red Blend at the Royal Queensland Wine Show, as well as top honors at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards and Yarra Valley Wine Show in 2022.

Originating from the renowned Yarra Valley, a region celebrated for its cool climate and diverse terroir, this vintage benefits from ideal growing conditions that contribute to its vibrant acidity and refined structure. The result is a wine that is both wonderfully complex and approachable, perfect for those who appreciate depth and sophistication in a red blend.

Scores

97/100

A blend of 35/35/12/7/6/5% touriga nacional/tinta cão/tinta amarela/tinta roriz/alvarelhão/sousão, all sourced from 1990 plantings. Yarra Yering and winemaker Sarah Crowe have hit the jackpot with their superb line-up of 2021 reds. Five trophies for three different wines at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show, including the trophy for Best Red Wine in Show for this wine a testament to that. Founder Bailey Carrodus originally planted these Portuguese varieties to make fortified wine. While the odd fortified is still made here, it's the Dry Red Wine No. 3 – a modern-day classic – that benefits. A totally gorgeous wine that's hard to put down once you've had a sip, this exhibits a riotous array of red and black fruits, wildflowers, dried herbs, licorice root and cocoa nibs. Medium bodied and fragrant in the mouth, too! Gently chewy, well-knit tannins make this wine a total joy to drink in its youth, yet it will still be looking good five to seven years from now.
