98 Points James Halliday — “Then Magic Happens”: One of Australia’s Most Iconic and Distinctive Wines

The 2019 Yarra Yering Dry Red No.2 is one of Australia’s most celebrated cool-climate reds — a Shiraz-dominant Rhône-style blend from the Yarra Valley that combines fragrance, elegance, and structure in a way few Australian wines can match. Now with 6 years of bottle age, it is drinking at a beautifully expressive stage.

My Wine Man on Yarra Yering

Yarra Yering was established in 1969 by Dr Bailey Carrodus and is one of the founding estates of the modern Yarra Valley wine scene. From the beginning, it set itself apart with a numbering system rather than varietal labels — Dry Red No.1 (Bordeaux blend) and Dry Red No.2 (Rhône blend) — a signature that has become part of Australian wine history. Dry Red No.2 is a blend of Shiraz, Mataro (Mourvèdre), and Viognier, crafted using whole-berry fermentation and matured in French oak barriques.

Tasting Notes

It is easy to be bowled over by the wine’s beauty — bright colour and an expressive perfume of violets, blue fruits, fresh currants, and Middle Eastern spice. Then the “magic happens.” The palate is superfine and elegantly structured, with silky tannins and perfectly integrated oak. Flavours build gradually across a medium-bodied frame, revealing layers of spice, fruit purity, and savoury detail. Complex, lifted, and completely seamless. 98 Points — James Halliday.

Food Pairing

A medium-bodied, 98-point Rhône-style Shiraz blend like this deserves graceful lamb. We love it with Grass-Fed White Stripe Premium Lamb Rack from My Meat Man — herb-garlic crusted and roasted medium-rare, the wine’s violets, blue fruits, Middle Eastern spice and silky tannins are a magnificent match for the lamb rack’s char and savoury depth.

Why This Is a Must-Buy

At HK$588, the Yarra Yering Dry Red No.2 delivers a 98-point Rhône-inspired blend from one of Australia’s most important historic estates. It offers extraordinary fragrance, finesse, and complexity with six years of bottle age already integrated — a wine that stands in a category of its own in Australian fine wine.
