Introducing Yarra Yering Dry Red No.3 - one of the Yarra's most unique wines, and one of its most delicious!
This is a field blend of 1990-planted Portuguese varieties Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Avarelhao and Sousao - the last varieties to be picked from the vineyard each year.
It's made with gentle hands (and feet!) and only old oak, with the aim being to retain all the spice and bright fruit that this style can deliver.
You could enjoy it now or save it in the cellar for the medium-term, the choice is yours.

" A deserved winner of seven trophies across three shows last year, including being in the final Jimmy Watson lineup at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards for the second year in a row. From its brilliant crimson purple colour to aromas of satsuma plums, wild berries and spice, there's a lot to love. Concentrated and flavoursome, yet balanced and very long with persistent and subtle tannins attesting to a wine that will age beautifully over at least the next 10 years."
