Est. delivery in August, 2026 Bailey Carrodus planted Yarra Yering in 1969, and the Dry Red No. 1 has been one of Australia's most singular wines ever since. It is a Bordeaux blend in structure only; the Yarra Valley's cool elevation and volcanic soils give it something altogether different from anything you'd find in the Médoc: a leaner, more aromatic profile, with dark cherry and dried herb sitting alongside graphite and earth rather than the riper cassis of warmer climates. The 2020 vintage was one of the cooler years, and that shows as tautness and precision rather than generosity.
