Yeringberg has been owned and managed by the de Pury family since 1863. Baron Frederic Guillaume de Pury migrated from Switzerland and purchased 1,100 acres (450 ha) of prime Yarra Valley land. He built a gravity-fed wooden winery and underground cellars, which are still intact and are classified by the National Trust of Australia. Yeringberg is one of the most distinguished wine-producing properties in the Yarra Valley. The tiny production of wines made only from grapes grown on the estate has a huge reputation for elegance, finesse, structure, and longevity.
