This is an important evolution in the history of this great wine, and while not all are developments that a (any) winemaker may choose, this one is both obvious and genius. This is an unbelievable wine. This is inherently McLaren Vale, which is emerging as a unique proposition in the global realm of fine Grenache.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Sands Grenache is the pinnacle of our estate. Reaching deep within the sandy soil, our prized 1946 old vines produce wines that balance intense power and complexity with fragrance and beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSourced exclusively from Block 31 (1.7 Ha). At 210m elevation, this is the highest section of the 1946 planted bush vine Grenache, which also has the deepest sandy soil. Hand-picked 8th March. For the first time, a 100% whole bunch fermentation contributes 15% to the final blend. The remainder is selectively sorted in the winery, destemmed with 50% whole berries retained. Wild yeast fermented in ceramic egg and small 1 tonne open top stainless-steel fermenters with a long and gentle maceration for a minimum of 30 days. A portion remained on skins for approximately 45 days post fermentation. No pressings are used in this wine. Matured on lees in both older, thick stave Austrian puncheon and ceramic eggs before final blending to predominantly ceramic eggs. Bottled February 2025. Certified Organic \/ Biodynamic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yangarra Estate","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45543009517677,"sku":"MEZYANGHSG21-aug26","price":266.06,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/YangarraHighSandsGrenache2024.png?v=1785780835","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/yangarra-high-sands-grenache-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
