ABOUT THE PRODUCERS
Established in 1862 and 1863 respectively as two of the first wineries in the Yarra Valley, St Huberts and Yeringberg helped position the region as a premium wine producing location and were champions of the Yarra Valley’s wine ‘renaissance’ in the 1960s.
The rebirth of the Yarra Valley as a superior wine region was marked with (re)plantings by Charles Hubert de Castella (St Huberts) in 1966, the de Pury family (Yeringberg) and Dr Bailey Carrodus (Yarra Yering) in 1969, and Dr Peter McMahon (Seville Estate) in 1972. Yarra Yering quickly gained an international status for quality with the release of their Dry Red Wine No. 1 and No. 2 in 1973, and by the end of the decade, the McMahon family were producing wines that served to restore the well-established reputation the Yarra had enjoyed in the 19th century.
