Tasting Notes

Vinification

Sourced from the oldest Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard block 301, bush vines planted in 1962. Hand-picked on the 19th of March and selectively berry sorted. 100% destemmed, crushed and tipped into 1800 L ‘cocciopesto’ stone amphorae. The fermentation occurred in the amphorae, a gentle maceration of only wetting the cap. The wine remained on skins in amphora for approximately 4 months. No pressings are used in this wine. Matured in amphora for a total of 11 months. Bottled February 2025. Certified Organic/Biodynamic – this is the second vintage released with ACO certification.

Vintage Notes

A normal wet winter was followed by a picturesque dry spring. The long range weather patterns indicated a shift from La Niña towards El Niño, which favours drier and hotter conditions. In these warmer seasons, we adjust our practices to encourage slightly higher yields and more canopy cover. However, the unexpected summer rainfall in December and January presented a unique challenge, resulting in larger bunches and berry development. Warm conditions prevailed through February and early March, promoting ripening of flavours and sugars with the balance we were aiming for. The warmth led to an intense couple of weeks, during which we harvested the majority of the grapes.

Winemakers Comments

From a site whose slopes are steeped in rich history, we source this Grenache from unirrigated bush vines planted in 1962. Its distinctive fruit is nurtured with a gentle wild fermentation and matured in grand ‘cocciopesto’ egg shaped amphorae. Capturing a contrasting expression of detailed perfume and a loose knit weave of tannins.

Region Notes

Yangarra is a single-vineyard estate situated in Blewitt Springs, at the northern 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.
