Vinification

Grenache was hand-picked and received via a belt elevator, de-stemmed and then sorted via two sorting tables, resulting in tubs of perfectly whole berries. These tubs are then tipped into our open fermenters (to avoid macerating the skins), where the berries are cold-soaked for 5-6 days and undergo wild fermentation. A careful regime of plunging and drain and returns ensued before the wine was sent to older French barriques after about 12-14 days. The wine in barrel was kept on the yeast lees for approximately 10 months prior to blending. The wine received no fining, just filtration. Certified Biodynamic.

Capturing the essence of Yangarra's prized certified bio dynamic bush vines, this complex grenache shows bright fragrance and fine, tapering tannins with savoury hits of bay leaf and juniper.

From bush vines planted in 1946, 50% whole-berries, wild yeast and kept on lees in used French oak for 10 months. So fragrant it's breathtaking. To start, a whirl of perfectly ripe raspberries and red currants, patchouli and subtle Middle Eastern spices. The palate is tightly wound, with raspberry-like acidity, more pronounced tannins in the background. They'll meet up in time. Drink by 2029. (Jane Faulkner)
