{"product_id":"2023-yeringberg-shiraz","title":"2023 Yeringberg Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eSandra de Pury continues to refine the definition of Yarra Valley Shiraz at this historic estate. Now in its 163rd year, Yeringberg has always championed a style of Shiraz that prioritizes perfume over power, and the cool, slow-ripening 2023 vintage was the perfect canvas for Sandra's gentle winemaking approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from vines planted in 1999 across three distinct clones (including a rare '100-year-old' selection), the winemaking here is all about detail. Sandra destemmed the fruit fully but kept a mix of whole and crushed berries to maximise aromatic lift. In a signature touch, she included a tiny co-ferment of Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier (less than 3%) to heighten the texture and floral range. The wine spent 23 days on skins before maturing for 19 months in French oak hogsheads (25% new).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is sophisticated and unmistakably Yeringberg. It opens with fresh, lively aromas of blueberry, violet, and fennel, dusted with five-spice and white pepper. The palate is simultaneously silky and serious - laden with inky blue and black fruits but grounded by an earthy, ferrous undertow. It is a mid-weight, graceful wine with gossamer tannins that will drink beautifully from the outset or over the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Elegant and perfumed with its aromas of spiced red cherries, raspberries and white and black pepper together with a touch of violets. It’s a little more approachable than the ’22 at the same age, with silken and persistent tannins rounding out a beautifully balanced wine to drink now and over the next seven to 10 years.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Yeringberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49095939883198,"sku":"jqk1789962478250","price":46.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/2749\/2542\/files\/2023-yeringberg-shiraz_1.png?v=1789962482","url":"https:\/\/smallpetcage.shop\/products\/2023-yeringberg-shiraz","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
