Description
In 1969, Dr. Bailey Carrodus had the vision to plant 30 acres of unirrigated vines. He named his vineyard Yarra Yering, and in 1973 produced his first vintage of Dry Red Wine No. 1—a Cabernet blend—and Dry Red Wine No. 2—a Shiraz blend.
Yarra Yering’s debut marked both the renaissance of wine in the Yarra Valley and the beginning of one of Australia’s most iconic and collected wine brands.
The vineyard has always been central to wine quality, with its low-yielding, unirrigated vines continuing to produce exceptional fruit. Under the guidance of 2017 Halliday Winemaker of the Year Sarah Crowe, Yarra Yering has achieved extraordinary acclaim.
Yarra Yering was named ‘Winery of the Year’ in 2022 by Halliday Wine Companion, and in 2021 and 2024 by The Real Review.
As certified members of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, Yarra Yering are committed to producing wines of distinction whilst upholding their responsibility as stewards of the land, ensuring its protection for future generations.
