Yarra Yering Carrodus Shiraz 2021
I tried this wine with winemaker Sarah Crowe in April '24 and absolutely loved it. Why don't more drinkers appreciate just how good Yarra shiraz can be... especially this one, the top one of the estste! Lean, elegant, spicy and smooth, yet offering so much complexity and power.
I’m a big fan of the wines of Yarra Yering, especially since Sarah began weaving her magic as winemaker in 2013. Sarah was recognised for her excellence when she became the first woman to win the prestigious James Halliday Winemaker of the Year award in 2017.
Sarah and Yarra Yering went on to be awarded:
Winemaker of the Year in 2021, by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine.
Winery of the Year 2021 by Huon Hooke’s The Real Review.
James Halliday Winery of the Year 2022 and in the same year Wine of the Year, the first time a winery has ever won the 2 major accolades in the one year.
And most recenlty, Winery of the Year 2024 (again) by Huon Hooke’s The Real Review.
Incredbile!
“Yarra Yering wines have always been very good, but under the current management, they have hit new heights. Sarah Crowe is an outstanding winemaker…. Without any fanfare (she) puts out a bevy of fabulous wines year after year.”
Huon Hooke, The Real Review, June 2019.
"Perfumed with blue and black plum fruits with a hint of cured meat. The palate has beautiful density of fruit, liquorice and a slate-graphite minerality. A wonderful season with plenty of hang time for fruit to gain flavour density but retain an energy and brightness to the palate. A solid framework of oak tannins from 30% new oak perfectly balanced with the intense fruit flavour and a layered texture. The persistence of the elegant flavour profile lingers for an age."
Winemaker's notes.
"Deep, rich colour and a commensurately deep, rich bouquet of meaty charcuterie and assorted spices, the palate full-bodied and fleshy with richness and extract, the flavour rising to a cescendo at the finish that lingers long and impressively. The core of the wine is deliciously rich and fruit-sweet and surrounded by enveloping tannins that are supple and decadently lavish, in perfect harmony with the powerful and concentrated flavour. An outstanding shiraz."
97 points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review.
