Yarra Valley
See Yarra Valley producers See a list of Yarra Valley wines See map
Victoria’s oldest viticultural area dating back to 1837. Initially it won admiration and trophies for its dry wines before losing out to fortifieds (from S. Australia) and then to the dairy cow. The 1960s saw a revival with Dr Bailey Carrodus founding Yarra Yering in 1969, closely followed by another medic Dr John Middleton with Mount Mary in 1971.
Famous for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the region has attracted interest from sparkling houses, notably Domaine Chandon as well as from one of two corporates; Melbourne’s continued sprawl represents the biggest threat to this Victorian idyll.
The climate is cool maritime (15 miles from the ocean), exposed to wind and rain with spring frosts a risk. The region’s warmer northerly aspects are preferred for viticulture. The best soils are underpinned by a low vigour red-brown clay subsoil, while a significant swathe of the region is characterised by vigorous deep red loam.

Forget Australian Chianti, think is excellent. An initially austere, cedary nose is followed by gorgeous sweet fruit in the mouth with a seductive richness and velvety texture. This is perfectly balanced by a firm yet ripe tannic structure. Delicious now, give this a couple of years to show its ... MORE Drink 2007-2010 . | ||||

Australia's twist on Côte-Rôtie, this 2005 Shiraz contains a small proportion of Viognier and Marsanne, and has great structure and depth with noticeably fine, silky tannins. Seductive, yet with refreshing acidity, this wine is all about elegance and purity of fruit; a far cry from the ... MORE Drink 2009-2025 . BBR Score: 19/20 The Wine Advocate Score: 95/100 | ||||

"The Underhill vineyard was bought in the late eighties, with the intention of the fruit going into the No 2. However the rich clay content in the soil produced fruit that had an identity all of its own, so the Underhill was born. The Underhill Shiraz is a much broader, muscular style of Shiraz ...

A much broader, denser wine than the No. 2, the Underhill Shiraz is from separate parcel of vines adjacent to the winery. The original plan was for the fruit to go into No 2. blend, however the stronger clay content in the soils has produced a wine with an identity all of its own, with remarkable ...

The classic No 1. blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with additions of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Another long, hot and dry growing season resulted in a big brooding beast that will require even more cellaring than usual. The nose of currants, mint and leafy aromas give way to a huge ...

A Northern Rhône blend of predominantly Shiraz with a hint of Viognier and an even smaller hint of Marsanne. This is the most seductive and graceful wine in the Yarra Yering range. There is an underlying power to this wine, with the Viognier offering some lift and aromatics to the nose, ... MORE Drink 2012-2025 . The Wine Advocate Score: 95/100 | ||||
