Tasting Notes

Maturation

Matured in ceramic after blending for a further 4 months.

Vinification

All varieties hand-picked and sorted separately. Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Roussanne picked on the 26th of March and Clairette and Bourboulenc on the 18th of April. Portions of the Grenache Blanc and Roussanne destemmed and crushed to ceramic egg and macerated on skins for an extended period, averaging 7 months. The remaining batches were whole bunch basket pressed, and only the very lightest pressings are kept separate to be considered for the final blend. These are un-fined, unsettled and fermented exclusively in ceramic. No sulphur is added until the completion of fermentation or the extended skin contact portions are removed from skins. 47% of the final blend was skin contacted.

Vintage Notes

The growing season began with significantly higher than average rainfall. The cool, wet conditions continued through Spring, setting us up for balanced canopies and lower yields. La Niña weather patterns forecasted cooler temperatures and continued rainfall for harvest. We were able to enhance vineyard practices such as shoot thinning and leaf removal to promote airflow, reduce mildew and increase sun exposure to bunches. From our experience, a cold vintage in a warm region can produce some of the best wines. Due to the cultural practices implemented, we were able to pick the majority of the vineyard in a three-week window prior to Easter, completed in early April. Wines produced from this vintage will be some of the prettiest and most delicate from the Estate.

Winemakers Comments

Inspired by the textural white wines of the Southern Rhône, Ovitelli Blanc brings these traditional varieties together in blended harmony. Gently fermented and aged with skin contact in large ceramic eggs.

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.

    Texture, flavour and presence. I love this wine. It tastes of salt, nashi pears, preserved lemon, citrus rind, nectarine and a mash of fruit skins. It’s dry, saline, pebbly and charismatic. A rose petal note develops as it breathes. It has a tonic-and-gin element. Of its own design, it’s beautiful. Points: 95/100
