Yering Station 'Village' Chardonnay is a standout expression of cool-climate winemaking from the revered Yarra Valley, just 45 kilometres east of Melbourne. As Victoria's first vineyard, Yering Station boasts a celebrated heritage dating back to 1838, planted by the pioneering Ryrie brothers and later expanded by visionary Paul de Castella. The estate's five vineyard sites across Yarra Glen and Coldstream feature unique soils and elevations, harnessing cutting-edge viticulture techniques and meticulous manual harvesting to capture the intricate nuances of the region. Crafted with a philosophy focused on terroir, this Chardonnay is barrel-fermented in premium French oak puncheons, allowing purity of fruit and varietal character to shine through. The result is an elegant wine that epitomises the vibrant freshness and sophistication for which Yarra Valley Chardonnay is renowned.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Pale straw with a glint of green, brilliantly clear in the glass, reflecting its cool climate origins and youthful vibrancy.
Nose:
A fresh and aromatic bouquet where zesty citrus takes the lead, harmonised with ripe white peach and subtle mineral notes of flint. Gentle undertones of delicate oak add complexity without overpowering the fruit, inviting you in for a deeper exploration.
Palate:
The palate bursts with a lively citrus character, seamlessly integrated with stone fruit flavours, particularly white peach, offering both freshness and depth. The wine is beautifully balanced, with well-judged oak influence supporting but never dominating the vibrant fruit. A subtle whisper of flint and mineral notes brings further interest and elegance.
Finish:
Clean, crisp, and delightfully refreshing, the finish lingers with enduring citrus vibrancy and a faint trace of flinty sophistication-an unmistakable hallmark of premium Yarra Valley Chardonnay.
Yering Station 'Village' Chardonnay effortlessly combines heritage, innovation, and region to deliver a refined, modern Australian Chardonnay with both energy and finesse, perfect for lovers of expressive, cool-climate white wines.
