Pre-Order: This item will be fulfilled and dispatched within one week after your order is placed. Vintage may vary.

Overview

A vibrant, youthful Grenache made with organically and biodynamically grown fruit from Yangarra’s single-vineyard estate in Blewitt Springs. Crafted in a fresh Nouveaux-inspired style, it combines juicy red fruit, floral lift and refreshing acidity with gentle natural tannins.

Vineyard

The wine is made from 100% estate-grown Grenache Noir, sourced predominantly from bush vines planted in 2008. The vineyard lies approximately 180 metres above sea level on ancient North Maslin Sands, with ironstone and sandy soils contributing to the distinctive expression of the site.

Winemaking

The fruit was hand-picked, destemmed and selectively sorted, with 50% whole berries retained. Wild fermentation took place in open-top stainless-steel fermenters, followed by approximately 15 to 21 days of gentle skin maceration. The wine matured on lees for five months in stainless steel, seasoned French oak puncheons and foudre before bottling in September 2024.

Tasting Profile

Producer Tasting Note
Bright, fresh, and fruit-driven, this vibrant Nouveaux-style Grenache is crafted to be enjoyed in its youth. With refreshing acidity, lively fruit, and floral aromas, it's an easy-drinking wine with a touch of tannin for balance. Juicy and medium-bodied.

Critic Reviews

95 Points — Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion
Published 28 January 2025
There’s an open red-berried and cherry fruitfulness, with red florals supported by savoury spice and a foundation of purposeful natural tannin… the fruit vibrancy and exuberance yield their own rewards.
