The 2022 Yeringberg Shiraz is a refined cool-climate Shiraz that highlights the long-standing affinity between this variety and the Yarra Valley. Produced from low-yielding estate vines, it opens with expressive aromas of blueberry, dark cherry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, white pepper, juniper and subtle spice. The wine is perfumed and detailed, reflecting Yeringberg's elegant house style.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, bright acidity and a silky, balanced texture. Layers of dark berries, plum and spice are supported by savoury notes and subtle oak influence, creating a wine with both freshness and depth. A long, persistent finish carries hints of pepper, floral complexity and gentle earthy character. The wine was matured for 20 months in French oak, with 30% new barrels, adding structure without overwhelming the fruit.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who appreciate elegant, cool-climate Shiraz with finesse rather than sheer power. Drinking beautifully now with decanting, it will continue to evolve over the next 8–10 years. Pair with roast lamb, duck, slow-cooked beef, venison or mature hard cheeses.
