A wonderful year for our Yeringberg blend. This wine will be fascinating to observe as it evolves over time. An elegant and complex nose of blackcurrant, violet and liquorice is interwoven with notes of Christmas cake, tapenade and graphite. The palate, generous and pure, laden with blue & black fruits, is understated and beautifully delineated. It has mid-weight elegance, seamlessly embedded tannins, and a long, refreshingly generous finish.

Wine Companion Top 100 Wines. The 49th vintage of a Yeringberg
from our old vines. A high quality vintage producing excellent, intense
wines in small quantities.
Picked between 24 March – 1 April 2022. Bottled Feb 2024. This
year’s blend comprises Cabernet Sauvignon 63%, Merlot 16%, Petit
Verdot 10%, Malbec 7%, Cabernet Franc 4%. A little more Cabernet
Sauvignon than usual and a lot less Cabernet Franc. Yields across the
five varieties varied from 0.5 to 2.3 tonnes per acre. 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 12-21 days. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for
21 months, about 40% new.
