Yering Station Pinot Noir 2024

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service.

Founded in 1838 by the Scottish-born Ryrie brothers, Yering Station is a winery located in the Yarra Valley in the Australian state of Victoria, east of Melbourne. Following several changes in ownership, the estate is now owned by the Rathbone family. It encompasses five vineyards across the Yarra Glen and Coldstream sub-regions, situated at altitudes ranging from 50 to 1,250 meters, where the vines benefit from the protection of the Great Dividing Range.

The Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from the estate’s vineyards in Yering, Coldstream, and Gruyere. Following harvest and vinification, the wine is aged in 500-litre oak barrels (only 13% of which are new) before bottling.

In the glass, the Yering Station Pinot Noir displays a clear, brilliant color with light crimson hues. Its aromatic profile is expressive and fragrant, featuring notes of strawberry, cherry, rhubarb, and raspberry, interwoven with floral hints and subtle touches of forest floor. On the palate, it is well-structured and generous, with a refreshing, balanced vein of acidity. The tannins are fine and velvety, leading to a long, succulent finish. It is an excellent example of a cool-climate Pinot Noir and is highly food-friendly; try it with pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, or herb-roasted salmon.
