Yeringberg Cabernets 2015 is a masterful Bordeaux blend crafted from a meticulously tended single vineyard in Victoria’s renowned Yarra Valley. Composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and 5% Malbec, this vintage reflects the ideal varietal proportions established by the de Pury family since 1863.
The 2015 growing season was characterized by a long, cool climate that fostered slow, even ripening, resulting in complex, layered flavors. Grapes were hand-picked and sorted, then fermented with wild yeasts using gentle extraction methods to preserve the wine’s freshness and purity. This careful approach yields a wine that balances elegance with depth, showcasing the unique terroir of one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious vineyards.
James Halliday, a leading Australian wine critic, praises Yeringberg as “Yarra Valley pioneers” whose wines “epitomise the finest the region can produce.” The 2015 Cabernets are noted for their velvety generosity of flavor without sacrificing varietal character, making them exceptional examples of long-lived, limited-release Bordeaux blends.
Key highlights include:
- Produced by Yeringberg, a family-run estate established in 1863 with a legacy of tradition and excellence.
- Scored an outstanding 98 points by renowned critic Huon Hooke, underscoring its premium quality.
- Sourced from a private cellar, ensuring exclusivity and provenance.
This wine embodies the refined elegance and complexity that define the Yarra Valley’s finest Cabernets. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated, age-worthy wine with rich varietal expression and a storied heritage.
