Vinification
Handpicked, de-stemmed and selectively sorted with large percentage of
whole berries retained, tipped to open-top fermenters. Must gradually warmed,
wild fermentation. Pressed after long gentle maceration. 5 months maturation
stainless steel. No additions were used throughout entire production. Bottled
October 2022.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though
slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit
set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to
harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we are pleased with the fruit
ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity.
The fruit was harvested on the 30th of March and 2nd of April.
Region Notes
Yangarra is a single-vineyard estate situated in the north-east 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 Rhone.
