Yeringberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 represents the pinnacle of premium winemaking from one of Victoria’s most esteemed vineyards. Crafted only in exceptional years, this vintage reflects the unique terroir of Yarra Valley, renowned for producing elegant and structured Cabernet Sauvignons.

Handpicked on 29 March and 1 April 2022, the grapes come from the original 1999 plantings, ensuring depth and complexity. The meticulous process includes hand sorting, destemming, and fermentation in small open-top tanks with gentle hand plunging over 16 days on skins. This careful handling preserves the intense varietal character and structure.

The wine was aged for 21 months in French oak barriques, with approximately 30% new oak, imparting subtle layers of complexity without overpowering the fruit. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offers a refined and tensile expression of the vintage, combining hallmark Yeringberg elegance with a powerful, structured palate.

Aromas of blackberry, black olive, and dark chocolate are accented by intriguing notes of iodine and tobacco, creating a deep and inviting nose. On the palate, the wine reveals a savory, almost primal intensity balanced by fresh acidity and a vibrant lift that shapes a long, elegant finish.
