Our Cellar Door Series featuring Yeringberg
The de Pury family have been the custodians of the Yeringberg farm for over 160 years, this intimate connection with site has solidified Yeringberg as one of the benchmark producers in the Yarra Valley, and we are excited to have the opportunity to host daily tastings from our restaurant on Flinders Lane.
The estates wines are much sought after and highly limited in both production and availability. Yeringberg wines can be both enjoyed in their youth and go on to age incredibly for those with patience. We are proud to have access to a large array of wines form the personal cellars of Yeringberg, all thanks to the current winemaker Sandra de Pury, allowing us to share this cellar door experience right here on Flinders Lane.
First planted in 1863 by baron Frederic-Guillaume de Pury established as a quality producer during the boom of Yarra Valley wine region, being recognised internationally for Marsanne in 1914 for their “White Hermitage”. In the following years, global turmoil and economic downturn lead wineries to shift focus and remove vines from their land, with Yeringberg being the last producing winery in the Yarra valley up until 1921.
The family continued to live and work on the estate, until an era of resurgence for winemaking in the Yarra Valey which was led by Guill & Katherine de Pury who re-planted vines in 1969. These vines were planted on the exact same plots as the original sites with North-East facing slopes. In recent years, the focus for new vine plantings is on East-South facing slopes as they look towards the future sustainability of grape growing due to the challenges of a changing climate.
At Cumulus Inc., we’re proud to share this storied history through a series of considered tasting flights. Any day of the week, our sommeliers will guide you through the vineyard’s rich history alongside flights spanning Yeringberg’s Chardonnay, Marsanne & Roussanne, Viognier and Cabernets as well as a comparative tasting of whites across the same vintage.
We’re also fortunate to have access to a small, exclusive selection of back-vintage wines, available for purchase by the bottle.
Tastings were available between 12pm and 5.30pm. Reservations essential.
