Robert and Mem Kirby planted the first Yabby Lake Vineyard in Red Hill in 1992 with extended plantings to the Moorooduc sub region in 1998. With enormous passion they have swiftly established Yabby Lake as one of Australia’s finest vineyards. The Creation of "Red Claw” the freshwater Yabby has been inspired by their enthusiasm to further produce quality wines that are truly expressive of the Mornington Peninsula region.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Dark red/purple
Bouquet: Lovely intense Shiraz fruit leaps from the glass. Dark berry fruit, spice and cloves are dominant. There is complexity already evident on this brooding young wine with underlying scents of pepper, provincial herbs and classy French oak.
Palate: The palate is loaded with dark fruited shiraz intensity and illustrates why this wine is so special, Heathcote Shiraz in the hands of a master Pinot Noir maker, Yabby Lake. Texture, balance and length of palate.
Cellaring Up to 5 years.
Winemaker Tom Carson and Tod Dexter
