History

Yeringberg is one of the most distinguished wine producing properties in the Yarra Valley and has been the home of the de Pury family since 1862.

Yeringberg was founded by Baron Frederic Guillaume de Pury who migrated to the Yarra Valley from Switzerland. Yeringberg produced wines until 1921, winning gold medals in London, Paris, Bordeaux, Calcutta and San Francisco. The original 2 storey wooden winery and underground cellars are still intact and are classified by the National Trust.

In 1969, 3rd generation, Guill de Pury re-established the Yeringberg vineyard on the north-east slopes originally chosen by his grandfather. The de Pury family currently produce around 1200 cases of Yeringberg wines each year from some of the oldest vines in the valley.

Yeringberg wines are made only from estate-grown grapes thus consistently reflecting the site, the weather and the vines. The vines are all hand pruned and the grapes hand picked. The wines are made with minimal intervention between the vineyard and the bottle and are cellared in the best French oak barrels.

Yeringberg operates a cellar door for only one weekend each year (in May), when the new vintage wines are released.
