Yeringberg Cabernet Blend 2020 750ml

The 47th vintage of a Yeringberg from our old vines. 2020 was another fine vintage which reinforces our strong belief that the Yarra Valley is perfectly suited for elegant Cabernet blends. This year’s blend comprises Cabernet Sauvignon 61%, Cabernet Franc 10%, Merlot 10%, Petit Verdot 10% and Malbec 9%. Yeringberg is always a ‘field’ blend, ie the vineyard and the vintage determine the final blend, not the winemaker.

The fruit is all hand-picked, and carefully sorted. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, and fermented in small open top tanks and hand plunged. Time on skins ranged from 12-15 days. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for 18 months, about 40% new. - Sandra de Pury
