Tasting Notes
Vinification
Hand-picked (21st March), 20% whole bunches, and the remainder has been
destemmed, mechanical berry sorted, 30% whole berries and 50% crushed. Open
fermenters and on skins for approximately 21 days. A gentle maceration principle
of wetting the cap and only draining and returning when reductive. Wild yeast
ferment. No pressings are used in this wine. Kept on lees for 16 months in 1 year
old foudre. Bottled November 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.
