Extended skin contact and exclusive fermentation and maturation in ceramic eggs create a concentrated, age-worthy white with floral perfume, distinctive flavour and luxurious phenolic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYangarra Estate specialises in southern Rhône varieties grown across its biodynamic McLaren Vale vineyard, where altitude, ancient geology, weathered sand, ironstone-rich soils and maritime influence contribute freshness and unmistakable site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was sourced from Block 6, Yangarra’s oldest Roussanne planting.

Unexpected rainfall during December and January encouraged berry development, while warm conditions through February and early March promoted flavour ripeness and concentration.

One portion was destemmed, crushed and transferred into 675-litre Clayver ceramic eggs. Sixty-six percent of the final blend was fermented on skins and remained in contact with the skins for approximately four months before pressing. Only the free-draining fraction was retained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe remaining fruit was whole-bunch basket pressed directly into ceramic eggs and fermented without skin contact. Following blending, the wine matured exclusively in ceramic for a further two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer Tasting Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eOur unique vineyard, with its weathered sand and ironstone soil, starts this Roussanne’s journey towards being an extraordinary wine.
