Yarra Yering 2012 Underhill Shiraz

- 2012
Underhill shiraz is made exclusively from a distinct 8 acre block of shiraz planted in 1973 on the western most section of the Yarra Yering vineyard.
Aromas of blood plums and cigar oak with a violet floral lift from the stalk use.
The heavy clay based soils produce wine with dark fruits and spice, chewy tannins and savoury undertones. A masculine wine with a firm long finish.
This shiraz is drinking beautifully at present and will evolve for a further 10+ years under suitable cellaring conditions.
The winemaker, Sarah Crowe, is the James Halliday Wine Companion Winemaker of the Year 2017.
