About Yarra Yering Dry Red No.3 750mL
Yarra Yering Dry Red No.3 is a distinctive Shiraz-based blend inspired by the wines of the Northern Rhône, crafted from the cool-climate vineyards of the Yarra Valley. On the nose, it opens with an intriguing aromatic complexity — fragrant violet and dark plum intertwine with cracked black pepper and cured meat, underpinned by a subtle waft of smoked olive and fresh herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a silky, refined texture that is the hallmark of Yarra Yering's meticulous winemaking. Dark cherry, blackberry, and bramble fruit unfold alongside savoury notes of leather, licorice, and fine-grained French oak. The tannins are supple yet structured, carrying the wine with elegance and precision. The finish is long, lingering, and beautifully savoury, with a cool-climate freshness and mineral lift that sets this wine apart from warmer-climate expressions of Shiraz.
