Yarra Yering Amphora 2023

This is a new wine from Sarah Crowe made from a classic Aussie combo of Shiraz and Cabernet. It was a bit of an experiment, yet it turned out so well the decision was made to release it. Good idea. The wine has a savoury and slightly earthy ironstone character threading through the medium-weight fruit. Fine tannins work their thing. And of course, the amphora has been key in the maturation process with the micro oxygenation allowing the tannins to soften just a bit. Good wine.
