Tasting Notes
Vinification
Sourced exclusively from our special 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. Extremely low yields. Hand-picked on the 23rd of March, being a flower
day on the biodynamic astrological calendar. Mechanically sorted. Destemmed, 50%
whole berries and remaining crushed. Cold soak. Open fermenters with a long gentle
maceration for a minimum of 21 days. Wild yeast ferment. No pressings are used in
this wine. Matured on lees in older large Format French oak and sandstone egg for 11
months. Bottled February 2021. Certified Organic/Biodynamic.
Vintage Notes
The growing season was affected by a very hot spring, leading to the lowest yields on
record. As the grapes started their ripening process the weather miraculously cooled
to a very mild ripening season. This resulted in wonderful concentration of flavour,
retention of natural acidity and brightness of fruit, but above all, beautiful finesse,
and balanced 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.
