Yerong Creek Estate - Our wines
A passion for fine wines is the driving force behind this family-owned
winery in southern New South Wales, which is now producing some
of the Riverina's most sought-after labels.
The expanding range of Yerong Creek Estate boutique wines continues
to develop in the fertile Yerong Creek Valley and is one of the
emerging success stories in the local wine industry.
The fruit is hand picked and transported to the winemaker where
it is pressed lightly. The Chardonnay juice is then fermented in
stainless steel tanks or French oak barrels - these methods producing
either a dry Chardonnay or the sweeter whites, Sweet Katharina and
Alice Lillian.
The Shiraz wines are traditionally made using open tub ferments
and hand plunging. They are matured in mainly older American oak,
therefore not letting new oak overpower the wine. The wines are
then barrel matured for 16-18 months before bottling.
Yerong Creek Estate's wines are made to be enjoyed - they are attractive
when young, but will certainly reward careful cellaring.
