The fragrance is a melting pot of violets, cranberry, plums, a whisker of bramble and fragrant five spice. Moderate in weight; the summer pudding fruits come in all colours, dialling up the flavour. There is cigar box and cardamom spice lending intrigue and a dry spice finish coupled by firm yet fine tannins that ably support the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruit was hand-picked, chilled overnight then transferred across a sorting table and destemmed directly to the Yarra Yering half-tonne openfermenters. As much whole berry as possible is retained to encourage perfume. A small portion of fermenters had frozen Viognier skins; tiny yields this year, added to the bottom. The wine was aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, 30% new before blending and bottling. 98.5% SHIRAZ, 0.5% MARSANNE, 0.5% MATARO, 0.5% VIOGNIER\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e98 Points – Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 Points – Halliday Wine Companion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(10, 10, 10);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW149851238 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-AU\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW149851238 BCX0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dry Red No. 2 is Yarra Yering’s ode to the Rhône, a co-fermented blend with a distinctly Australian accent - layered, poised, and utterly seductive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally dreamed up by the visionary Dr Bailey Carrodus, this wine is 96% Shiraz rounded out with flecks of Marsanne, Mataro and Viognier - an old-world blueprint reimagined through a Yarra Valley lens. As always, the winemaking is precise: hand-picked fruit, whole berries to boost fragrance, a few handfuls of frozen Viognier skins and Marsanne bunches added to select fermenters, then 15 months in fine French oak to knit it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex from the first swirl - black cherry, licorice, iodine, graphite - before opening into a wine of seamless texture and savoury length.
