Yarra Valley Wine Region

Map Aus Yarra ValleyThe Yarra Valley is a wine region known for producing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region has become a leading wine tourism destination, popular for weekend trips as it is located only an hour’s drive north east of Melbourne.

The cool climate region has some of the oldest soils in the world, and produces terrific Chardonnays in the leaner, acid-driven style. Long gone are the days of excessively oaked and oily Chardonnays. Superb Pinot Noir is cultivated with tremendous results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and even Sparkling wines of premium quality are also worth seeking out. 

Yarra Valley is the oldest wine region in Victoria with the first vines planted in 1838 at Yering Station. Reg Egan founded the iconic Wantirna Estate in 1963, followed by Dr Bailey Carrodus in 1969 who founded equally lauded Yarra Yering in the foot of the Warramate Hills. Nowadays a fleet of new world wine makers and growers are making sure Yarra Valley stays at the forefront of Victorian wine production. Key wineries to look out for are Mayer, William Downie and Macforbes.

The region in 2009 suffered in the Black Saturday fires, with an estimated 25% of all production was impacted.

MOUNT MARY 'QUINTET' CABERNETS 2004, 750ml (Bottle)

  • Drink 2016-2024. 97 points Jeremy Oliver
  • Its deep, dark and briary aromas of violets, cassis, blackberries, dark plums and plain chocolate reveal undertones of dried herbs and bramble.
  • Beautifully controlled and contained, its silky and elegant palate conceals its ample power and strength beneath an exterior of spotlessly fresh, pure blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit, camera-shy oak and tannin so delicate and fine that its genuine impact could easily be ignored. Evenly ripened, it also reveals classic nuances of dried herbs.

MAC FORBES 'WOORI YALLOCK' CHARDONNAY 2009, 750ml (Bottle)

  • Ascetic, but for those of you who are that way inclined, a very good wine. Gary Walsh
  • A whiff of struck match and some creamy oatmeal, spice and honey to soften the introduction, and then into the crunch of mixed citrus and swingeing acidity.
  • Theres touches of softness but all in all an uncompromising style. Certainly a true Chablis style of Chardonnay.
Mac Forbes 'Woori Yallock' Chardonnay 2009

MOUNT MARY PINOT NOIR 2008, 750ml (Bottle)

  • The 2009 vintage is reduced to around 25% of normal production so regrettably white allocations are tiny. Quantities of 2008 reds are on the upside back to normal (quantities of Mount Mary produced are always tiny to begin with!)
  • The Pinot starts with sweet aromas of strawberries and cream, mixed with sour cherries, stewed fruit and some savoury elements.
  • The palate continues the mix of sweet and savoury flavours with hints of bread or toast. The flavours are complimented with balanced light phenolics and a long pleasant finish. This Pinot will partner perfectly with rustic dishes such as coq au vin, particularly after a few years of bottle age.
