“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 cutting edge McLaren Vale producer is making delicious energetic estate grown wines from it’s biodynamic vineyards. The Yangarra philosophy centres around producing wines solely from its single-vineyard estate and the property is devoted to the best grape varieties of the southern Rhone. Yangarra’s combination of rare geologies, moderate altitude, abundant sunshine and cool evening breezes make it perfect for growing varieties that thrive in these moderate maritime environments. Since 2000 Peter Fraser has been the winemaker and driving force behind Yangarra Estate Vineyard. Amongst many accolades In 2005 and 2006 (under Peter’s direction) Yangarra Estate wines won International Winery of the Year from Wine & Spirits and in 2016 Peter was named Winemaker of the Year by James Halliday as part of his 2016 Wine Companion Awards. We have been bowled over by every wine in their line up … a rare occurrence in this business!
From the winery about this wine… “The PF Shiraz is made from grapes grown on our certified biodynamic singleestate vineyard, grown without herbicides, fungicides or synthetic chemicals. It is made without additions of any kind: sulphur (preservative), acid, tannin or finings. It’s medium bodied, fresh, fruit driven wine that is delicious enjoyed as a young wine. With that in mind, we do have PF shiraz back to our first vintage of 2013 that is still showing some of lovely vibrant characters.”
“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.”
Wow what a delightful little red! Lovely fragrance, juicy and medium weight … just deliciously gorgeous – and its preservative free! Alc 13%
90 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “Fermented wild, basket pressed, no additives, Preservative Free. Fresh, well-structured, ripe but not overtly sweet in its flavour profile. This goes alright and then some. It’s a bit jubey and a bit plummy with clove and blueberry-like highlights. Nice. Good. Worth buying/drinking.”
91 Points, Wine Pilot “Destemmed and sorted with wild fermentation and 5 months maturation in stainless steel. Red cherries, raspberry and black currants. Harissa spice with notes of caraway, red clay and wild thyme. Black olive and blood plums. It’s all about freshness in this wine and built for weeknight drinking. A spaghetti bolognese, a pepperoni pizza, this wine has its place in any home and on any occasion. The bright acidity keeps you sipping and tightly wound tannins make it ideal for red based sauces and spicy meats. Drink now.”
