The only Yangarra wine not made from the estate. But for a wine of this quality, we'd make the exception too.
Our first release of this wine and the only wine we make that is not sourced from the Yangarra Estate. We felt with Grenache being our specialty that this small plot (0.9 ha) of Grenache planted in 1962 is incredibly well-suited to our portfolio of single block wines. Hand-picked on the 9th of March and mechanically berry sorted, 100% destemmed, crushed and then tipped into 1800 L ‘cocciopesto’ stone egg-shaped amphoras. The fermentation occurred in the amphoras, with a gentle maceration of only wetting the cap, and remained on skins for 90 days. No pressings are used in this wine. Matured exclusively in the amphora for a further 8 months.

Critic reviews
James Halliday – Naturally fermented in 1800L stone amphora with little agitation aside from wetting the cap. 90 days on skins. An additional 8 months in amphora. This cuvée is akin to the finest pinot; svelte, detailed and uplifting. Aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, rosewater, mace and orange zest. The superior wine of 2019 here, or at least what I've tasted to date. Stunning. The tannins, growing with air and the next sip. The finish, jitterbug energetic, chiselled and chamois of texture. Long and succulent. Another addition to the Australian stable of finessed world-class grenache." Ned Goodwin MW - Halliday Wine Companion, March, 2021
World Wine – Aromas of five-spice, strawberries, raspberries and my nanna's garden (geraniums, roses etc). There's a bit of musk and herb action as well. The fruit flavours are bright, crunchy, perfumed and lively, with cherry, raspberry, some darker fruit notes at play as well as earthiness. There's a whole lot of other top stuff happening: it keeps unfolding in the glass. The tannins are a real feature. How does a wine that looks quite light in the glass get such a drive of serious tannin firmness and structure? Delicious stuff. Aaron Brasher - The Real Review
