The 2022 Yarra Yering Dry White Wine No. 1 is a distinctive and elegant white blend from the Yarra Valley, combining Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc in a refined, age-worthy style. Inspired by classic Bordeaux Blanc, it balances freshness, texture and complexity while showcasing the precision of cool-climate fruit. The nose is lifted and aromatic, offering citrus zest, green apple and white peach, layered with notes of lemongrass, fresh herbs and a subtle flinty edge.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a textured, almost waxy mouthfeel supported by bright, linear acidity. Citrus and stone fruit flavours are interwoven with savoury nuances and minerality, leading to a long, clean and structured finish. The style is poised and restrained, focusing on balance and longevity rather than overt fruitiness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout alternative to classic Sauvignon Blanc, ideal for customers seeking more texture and complexity. It’s perfect for those who enjoy white Bordeaux or structured, food-friendly whites. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Excellent with seafood, grilled fish, goat’s cheese or herb-driven dishes.
