Lifted fragrance, with bright flavours and
vibrant acidity, this wine shows these ancient newcomers also thrive in our
elevated corner of McLaren Vale.
Vinification
The Carignan, Cinsaut and Counoise were fermented together. The Shiraz
and Mourvèdre have been kept to smaller amounts, so as not to overpower
the delicacy. Destemmed and selectively sorted. 50% whole berries. Wild
ferment. Open fermenters. Approximately 14-18 days on skins with a very gentle
maceration, with a portion of Grenache for an extended time. Matured in older
French oak of varying sizes for 5 months. Blended and matured for a further
5 months in predominantly large French oak foudre. Bottled February 2023.
Certified Organic and Biodynamic.
Region Notes

edge of the McLaren Vale region, South Australia. Yangarra’s combination of
ancient geology, high altitude and Mediterranean climate provide the ideal growing
conditions for the best grape varieties of the southern Rhône.
