The 2024 Yeringberg Babyberg is an innovative Yarra Valley white blend crafted from the youngest vines on the Yeringberg estate. Made primarily from Marsanne with smaller portions of Viognier and Roussanne, it offers a fresh take on traditional Rhône varieties. Aromas of honeysuckle, apricot, citrus peel and white flowers are complemented by hints of spice and dried herbs, creating a wine that is both aromatic and distinctive.
On the palate, it is textural and medium-bodied, with flavours of stone fruit, citrus and subtle spice supported by bright acidity and gentle phenolic grip from skin contact fermentation. Time spent in older oak barrels adds complexity and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, while maintaining freshness and balance. The finish is long, savoury and layered, making it a compelling alternative to more traditional white wine styles.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for adventurous white wine drinkers looking to explore something beyond Chardonnay or Pinot Gris. Its combination of texture, freshness and savoury complexity makes it particularly food-friendly. Enjoy over the next 3–6 years alongside roast chicken, grilled seafood, pork dishes, charcuterie or Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
