Yarra Yering Chardonnay 2019 750ml

 

Oyster shell nose with grapefruit, pears and ginger. A faint impression of vanillan oak bringing a sweet perfume. Finesse combine with pillowy fruit weight; this is a wine that is fine boned with citrus flavours dominating in its youth. A citrus energy drives the palate with a pithy interest and texture on the back palate. An extremely fine grained oak tannin framework lingers on the finish.

96 Points – James Halladay

While Yarra Yering makes its mark as a red wine producer of excellence, of late its chardonnay is really standing out. It’s changing. It’s finer. It’s pristine, with layers of citrus and tangy acidity lengthening out a palate that’s seamless and textural. It has the right amount of moreish sulphides to the fruit weight. Try putting this down. – Jane Faulkner, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion.
