Tasting Notes
Yarra Yering's Light Dry Red is a beguiling, unconventional blend — typically a field blend of Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and other varieties — that defies easy categorisation. On the nose, it opens with lifted red cherry and crushed raspberry, threaded through with violet florals and a whisper of dried herbs. The palate is silky and deceptively complex for its lighter frame, delivering bright cranberry and pomegranate fruit with a savoury undercurrent of dried thyme and iron-rich earth. The tannins are fine-grained and gossamer, carrying the wine effortlessly across the palate. There is a refreshing tension between the wine's cool-climate acidity and its generous, sun-warmed fruit, making it endlessly drinkable yet intellectually engaging.
