Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines | Village Pinot Noir

Published on: 6th December 2024

Our 2022 Village Pinot Noir has cracked Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2024 — placing at #88 amongst wines from across the globe.

The 2022 Yering Station Village Pinot Noir has earned a coveted spot at #88 on Wine Spectator Magazine’s Top 100 Wines of 2024 list. This wine was the only Pinot Noir from Australia to make the Top 100, and one of two Australian wines featured on this year’s list.

Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines reviewed over the previous 12 months and select their Top 100; a selection of iconic wineries, top values and emerging brands, based on quality, value, availability and excitement.

“We are incredibly proud to have the 2022 Yering Station Village Pinot Noir recognized as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2024,”

“The Yarra Valley has long been known for producing exceptional Pinot Noir and this accolade is a testament to the dedication of our team. Over the past several years, we have fine-tuned our approach to winemaking paying close attention to every detail from the vineyard to cellar. The result is a wine that captures the distinctive style of the Yarra Valley and reflects what the cool climate region does best–bright, vibrant fruit flavours which speak for themselves.”

Leading the winemaking team with passion and integrity, Chief Winemaker Brendan Hawker is dedicated to crafting wines that authentically express their origin, cultivation and vintage.

Wine Spectator is the world’s leading authority on wine. The Top 100 list has been an annual highlight since 1988, showcasing the best of wine from the past year, wineries worth watching in the future, and the producers and wines that Wine Spectator’s editors are most enthusiastic about. The 100 bottles were chosen from over 10,500 wines reviewed in blind tastings by Wine Spectator’s editors. Selections are based on four criteria: quality (based on score), value (based on price), availability (based on the number of cases made or imported into the U.S.) and the “X-factor”—a compelling story and excitement behind the wine.

“Strawberry, blood orange and cranberry flavors are firm and juicy in this red, showing plenty of spice, earth and herb notes on a sleek and polished frame. Offers a pretty violet accent, a touch of toast and a wild thyme detail on the finish.”
