Tasting Notes
Palate
The Old Vine Grenache is a complex, perfumed and elegant wine with a
trademark tannin structure.
Vinification
Sourced exclusively from 13.3 hectares of un-irrigated bush vines planted in 1946.
Hand-picked in mid-March, selectively sorted in the winery. Gently destemmed
with 50% crushed, 50% whole berries retained. Wild yeast fermentation in stainless
steel. A very gentle pump over regime, often just wetting the cap. Some extended
macerating up to 2 and a half months to polish the tannins. No pressings used.
Maturation in a mixture of old Austrian and French oak foudre and puncheons,
ceramic egg and amphora. Bottled February 2025. Certified organic and
biodynamic.
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.
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.
