Tasting Notes

Palate

A progressive take on a French classic, Noir brings Grenache together with its lesser-known red partners, Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise, in a celebration of the southern Rhne on our estate. Lifted fragrance, with bright flavours and vibrant acidity, this wine shows these ancient newcomers also thrive in our elevated corner of McLaren Vale.

Vinification

Each grape variety was handled separately until final blending to allow each variety to best exhibit its unique characteristics. Destemmed and selectively sorted. 50% whole berries. Open fermenters. Approximately 14-18 days on skins with a very gentle maceration. Wild yeast ferment. Matured in older French oak for 7 months. Bottled December 2021.

Vintage Notes

We had a very favourable growing season, with good winter rains, a mild flowering and fruit set period and continued spring rainfall to ensure a healthy canopy. Pleasing yields showed good balance between vine vigour and moderate berry size. The ripening period that began late January was very cool, with some welcome rainfall in mid-February. This delayed harvest, with the cold nights and mild sunny days, produced optimal fruit ripeness and intensity. The freshness and bright natural acidity of the fruit were a real feature.

Region Notes

Yangarra is a single-vineyard estate situated in Blewitt Springs, at the northern edge of the McLaren Vale region, South Australia. Yangarras combination of ancient geology, high altitude and Mediterranean climate provide the ideal growing conditions for the best grape varieties of the southern Rhne.

    A bit steely, a bit brambly, dried herb, spice, rosehip. It’s medium-bodied, savoury and grainy, all the wild herb perfume, red and blue fruits, a bit sappy and meaty, a cool feel to acidity, slate-like tannin, tangy and juicy to close, with a chalky finish of good length. All the grape varieties working in tandem. What a great and energetic glass of wine. Yum. Points: 92/100
