Hand-picked and hand sorted, only the best berries go on to fermentation, a portion of the Cabernet is fermented in 100% new oak cask with 8 weeks on skins. Matured in 40% new French oak for 15 months before blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and blue berry fruits and a rustic iodine feel compliment some bay leaf adding a background herbal lift. Mixed brown spices and a hint of oak; flavour and tannin. Beautiful fruit, refreshing acidity and fine tannins form a solid foundation for a long future. Complex but not intimidating, always exciting to watch evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98 Points - Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 Points – Ned Goodwin for James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDry Red No. 1 is where it all began for Yarra Yering, and in 2023, it’s once again a masterclass in what makes the Yarra Valley one of Australia’s great Cabernet regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wine built on the strength of its foundation - Cabernet Sauvignon from the very first plantings in 1969 - blended with Merlot, Malbec and a splash of Petit Verdot from neighbouring blocks. Every parcel is treated with reverence: whole berry ferments for fragrance, open-top fermenters for texture, a mix of new and seasoned oak, and one third of the Cabernet gets the royal treatment with eight weeks on skins in a 3,500L oak cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a glorious wine. A wine of depth and quiet power. Dark fruit, fine tannins, just enough grip, and a savoury undercurrent that builds with every sip. It’s polished, but not flashy - in every sense a benchmark of the famous Yarra Valley Cabernet wine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a wine destined for great things. Winemaker Sarah Crowe knocked this out of the park. It should be an essential part of any serious Australian cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yarra Yering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67658132652141,"sku":"PWCYYDREDN24","price":139.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/yarra-yering-dry-red-wine-no1-2024.jpg?v=1791362332","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/yarra-yering-dry-red-no-1-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
