Yeringberg is one of the Yarra Valley’s most historic and distinguished family estates, founded in 1863 and revived by the de Pury family in the 1970s. Known for producing some of Australia’s most nuanced, Bordeaux-inspired reds, Yeringberg takes a traditional, artisanal approach: small volumes, hand-picked fruit, meticulous blending, and minimal intervention. Their Cabernet Sauvignon — always made in tiny quantities — is a benchmark of elegance, perfume, and age-worthy structure.
Vineyard
The Yeringberg vineyard sits on rolling slopes above Coldstream, with volcanic and grey clay loam soils that naturally limit yields and enhance concentration. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines, many now decades old, deliver small, flavour-packed berries. The wine is typically blended with varying portions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, all grown onsite. Dry farming, careful canopy management, and hand harvesting ensure purity and precision in every vintage.
Vintage
2022 was an excellent cool-climate vintage in the Yarra Valley. A mild summer and long, slow ripening allowed Cabernet Sauvignon to develop superb aromatic lift and refined tannins. Conditions favoured depth without excess weight, resulting in wines of balance, freshness, and classical structure. For Yeringberg, 2022 is widely anticipated to be one of the standout Cabernet vintages of the decade.
Winemaking
Fruit is hand-picked, gently destemmed, and fermented in small open vats with traditional hand-plunging. The wine matures in French oak barriques (a modest proportion new), allowing subtle spice integration without overshadowing the fruit. The final blend is assembled only after careful assessment of each component, ensuring harmony and complexity.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Yeringberg Cabernet Sauvignon reveals lifted aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, cedar, bay leaf, graphite, violet, and hints of cigar box. The palate is medium-bodied, refined, and beautifully layered, offering dark berry fruit, savoury herbs, and subtle earthiness. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity give the wine focus and length, finishing with classical Yarra Valley poise. Elegant yet persistent, this is a Cabernet built for graceful ageing.
