Broader and more muscular than the Dry No 2, its concentration is balanced by a delicate, ethereal essence. VINEYARD After a lengthy search, Dr. Bailey Carrodus, the founder of Yarra Yering, found a hillside in the Yarra Valley that met his stringent requirements - a north facing slope of grey, silty clay loam with bands of well-draining gravel, high enough out of the Valley to avoid the common late spring frosts. His choice paid off handsomely: this marginal climate proves challenging cooler years, yet the dry-farmed 80 acre vineyard supports some 15 varietals, highlighting the unique site's diversity. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Shiraz VINIFICATION Grapes are hand-harvested into small containers before being gently lowered into an antique crusher-destemmer. From there, the must flows into custom designed fermenters - vintage tea chests lined with stainless steel and propped on heels. When necessary, cooling is achieved by lowering ice blocks into these unique vessels. Maturation is carried out in lightly toasted 100% French oak barrels barriques (30% new) before the wines are bottled in the simplest of packaging, reflecting the purity of the wines within. TASTING NOTE The 2005 Underhill Shiraz is a beautifully intense, spicy shiraz loaded with aromas of black fruits, blueberries, earth and charry oak. Vibrant flavours of ripe plums and black cherries intermixed with spice, fine tannins and tight acidity produces a supple, balanced mouthfeel that is neither heavy nor overly extracted. This complex, elegant Shiraz will benefit from a cellaring life of 7 - 10 years under ideal conditions.
