Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Erin Larkin
The 2023 Chardonnay is a pretty, delicate rendition of Chardonnay and exhibits lovely, pliable phenolic structure in the mouth. This is, in fact, one of the highlights, as it creates a capaciousness on the palate that accommodates the brine, preserved citrus, white peach and almond meal. The length is compelling too. Very good, persistent wine here. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The highly focussed 2023 Yarra Yering Chardonnay shows the elegance of the vintage with layers of creamed cashews and peach nectar plus a whisper of reduction. Tangy acidity defines the linear, chalky texture, which remains tight and unevolved as just-ripe citrus tones and fresh nougat lingers through the finish. This should improve with time in the cellar.
About the Producer
Yarra Yering is one of the oldest and most beautiful vineyards in Victoria’s Yarra Valley with 28 hectares of vines located at the foot of the Warramate Hills. Established in 1969 by Dr Bailey Carrodus, the 1973 vintage saw production of the first vintage of Dry Red Wine No. 1 and Dry Red Wine No. 2. Yarra Yering quickly gained an international reputation for quality and individuality and paved the way for other Yarra Valley wineries.
