The West most vineyard site, Underhill expresses a more savoury set of flavours. Incredibly drinkable, yet, long lived.

Description

The vines grow like triffids, pulling into balance over the growing season to produce a wine that you can hook from day 1. Be patient though it’ll age incredibly well too. Great to compare with the No.2 to see how just 100m can produce such different wines. I’ve just dropped the last of my 2001 Underhill. From a more forward year it was just divine. M’s house red! Then we shifted to 2001 No.1 as it hit the drinking window!

Why is this Wine so Yummy?

I had the great pleasure of working with Doc for just over 4 years. I had been in search of a winery that was pushing the boundaries of excellence and was fortunate enough to be introduced to Yarra Yering. Tasting the wines reminded me of some of the great old Australian and European wines Dad had cracked over time. Working with the man was a mind explosion.

The detail, thoughtful consideration of finer elements of the wine was evident from the first day we met. He was always ahead of his time, always in the pursuit of extra yumminess. In 1996 texture was a major focus, 10 years later the better producers in the industry were thinking texture.

You can read about my 1st vintage with Yarra Yering in 1996 in the Wine Bites Magazine. I’ll get to sharing more about my 2nd stint at YY from 2000-2004 soon. Stay tuned!

For Doc the worst fault a wine could have was not a technical one, it was for the wine to be boring! Most would agree you could never accuse a YY wine of being boring!
