The Yeringberg release each year is always one of the most exciting days on the CellarHand calendar, and never more so than with this stunning bracket from the brilliant, if not tiny, 2022 vintage.

Over the years we’ve seen these wines emerge with a continued sense of grace and a great sense of terroir and have clearly become one of our national vinous treasures. A multi-generational family, Sandra, David and their team are leading this estate into the next half of the decade with renewed focus and vision.

These wines represent the pinnacle of Yarra Valley in 2022 with the iconic Viognier and Marsanne Roussanne looking imperious as ever. The ‘Yeringberg’ Cabernet Blend is in superb form, with the addition of the rare single-variety-bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly complimenting the always cool-climate Côte-Rôtie reminiscent Shiraz wine that is now really hitting its stride.

And very worthy of a mention here is the recently released Babyberg from young plantings, which if you can imagine a skinsy version of the iconic Marsanne Roussanne is a window into the continued innovation that is occurring at Yeringberg. – Patrick Walsh
