Yarra Yering Dry White No. 1 2019

A white blend of 65% Semillon and 35% Chardonnay, sourced from a dry grown block south of Underhill Vineyard, slightly higher in elevation. 

Both Semillon and Chardonnay were hand harvested, chilled in a cool rom overnight and whole bunch pressed.  This gives us the finest juice with minimal phenolics or grip.  Fermentation in old oak barrels lending weight and texture.

"Light but intense lemon-yellow hue. Vibrant nose of crushed shells and lemongrass. The palate intensity is immediately noted, volume across the full spectrum is turned right up. Intense lemongrass, yellow flowers and sea minerals meld together whilst firm but poised acids drive everything long into the finish. A finishing fuzz of phenolics adds an extra dimension to the endless length."  95pts, Stuart Knox, The Real Review

"65/35% semillon/chardonnay.  A wine that's driven by crisp, piercing acidity.  Bracingly fresh, with all manner of citrus flavours and nuances, racy and linear.  More stuffing is needed – time will probably do just that, by plumping out the palate." 92pts, Jane Faulkner, Wine Companion
