Yarra Yering is one of the Yarra Valley’s most iconic and historic wineries, established in 1969 by Dr. Bailey Carrodus, a pioneer who helped revive winemaking in the region. Known for its elegant, age-worthy wines, Yarra Yering quickly earned a reputation for excellence, with its first commercial vintage released in 1973.

Since 2013 the winery is led by acclaimed winemaker Sarah Crowe, whose focus on site expression and sustainable practices has earned widespread recognition, including multiple Winemaker of the Year awards. Her second ‘Winemaker of the Year” accolade was in 2021, presented by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine. The same year Yarra Yering won the 2022 James Halliday Winery of the Year & Wine of The Year, the first time a winery has ever won 2 major accolades in the one year.

The fruit for this wine comes from a single block of shiraz planted in 1973. It's a blend of 80% whole berries and 20% whole bunches, fermented in a 3500L new oak foudre. After fermentation, half of the wine was matured for a year in the same foudre, while the remainder went into used French oak puncheons. This vintage of Underhill showcases remarkable restraint and purity of fruit, consistent with the overall style of the YY range. It's perfumed, savory, delicate yet complex, and displays a long, pure finish. The wine features lacy tannins and fine acidity, contributing to its lithe palate.
