Yering Station

With vines being first planted in 1838 by Scottish-born Ryrie brothers, Yering Station was the first vineyard in Victoria State. The brothers acquired 17,400 hectares and planted two grape varieties at the time -‘Black Cluster’ and ‘Sweet Water’. In 1850, the site was sold to a Swiss-French immigrant, Paul de Castella. He increased the vineyard by a further 20 hectares, sourcing vines from around the globe including some from Chateau Lafite. A jewel in the Yarra Valley crown, Yering Station produces world-class cool climate wines from its revered vineyards which are famously abound with expressive varietal flavour and integrity.

Established in 1838 as the first vineyard in Victoria, it is an outstanding property in the heart of the Yarra Valley, one hour east of Melbourne, with a burgeoning reputation. The Yering Station winery is state-of-the art, and highly flexible, planned and built under the watchful gaze of the Rathbone family and winemakers Tom Carson and Darren Rathbone, it is ideal for the production of the often fickle Pinot Noir and allows the gentle handling vital to produce elegant, attractive wines.
