Our wines
At YarraLoch all of our wines are made with the same level of care and attention to detail. All of our wines are made with the aim of producing wines of the highest quality. Each wine is released either as an Estate wine or under a Reserve label. YarraLoch does not release wine under a second label.

Reserve Range
When a particular wine is of exceptional quality and also has the elegance, balance and complexity consistent with the style we aspire to produce, it will be released under the Stephanie'’s Dream label. Usually this will not occur every year, but rather only when vintage conditions at our particular site have been especially favourable and we have succeeded through the winemaking process in translating that into outstanding wine. We also release under The Collection label wines which are similarly outstanding but are made from parcels of fruit which originate from outside the Yarra Valley.

2008 Stephanie's Dream Heathcote Shiraz
Made from low cropped fully ripe Heathcote shiraz, this wine is very complex with concentrated ripe plums, dark chocolate, savoury meaty characters and integrated smoky oak on the nose. A rich velvety mid-palate texture gives way to tingling acidity and soft but persistent tannin.

Limited Release Range
The Morpheus Label will rarely be released. It is reserved for those occasions when site, climate and winemaking work in unison to produce a wine that is truly world class.

This wine is deep, dark and concentrated. It has amazing depth, intensity and balance on the nose with liquorice, spice and dark ripe plums supported by charred oak nuances. The palate has great ripe fruit power but still retains balance, with an integrated backbone of firm tannin and a savoury, earthy complexity supported by abundant acidity.
