Yangarra Estate Shiraz 2015

Description

This cutting edge McLaren Vale producer is making delicious energetic estate grown wines from it’s biodynamic vineyards.  We have been bowled over by every wine in their line up … a rare occurrence in this business!

This is a very smart medium to full bodied red with lovely depth and layers of fruit fine grained tannins and gorgeous balance.

“Venerable vines, fastidious viticulture and cutting-edge winemaking kit. It’s a killer combination, and the reason why Yangarra is producing some of the best wines in the Vale right now.” – Max Allen, The Weekend Australian.

This 2015 release is gorgeous … full bodied red with lovely depth and layers of fruit fine grained tannins and lovely balance.

From the winemaker: “Shiraz adopts a very different form at Yangarra than the typical McLaren Vale style, and is more akin to the cooler climate styles. Our single vineyard estate has twelve individual blocks of Shiraz. Each block is defined by different aspects and subtle variations of the sand and Ironstone soils that overlie the ancient North Maslin Sands geological formation.”

95 points Jane Faulkner MW for James Halliday 2018 Australian Wine Companion: “Estate fruit, 50% whole berries, a portion of whole bunches, wild ferment and aged in French oak 25% new for 17 months. Excellent dark-purple hue; succulent and velvety texture with some power to the chiselled tannins, savoury yet pristine fruit the key.” Screwcap. 14.5% alc.
