Power is not to be mistaken for heft, but rather a certain density of matter, an intensity of flavour that is inextricably locked with a commanding drive of skin tannins and subtle but purposeful acidity. Spiced pear, lemon rind, quince, dried lime, green almond, grippy heirloom apple, dried mint

A unique vineyard with its weathered sand and ironstone soil, starts this Roussanne’s journey towards being an extraordinary wine. Months mellowing on grape skins in large ceramic eggs ensure a wine of luxurious texture and distinctive flavour.

Yangarra is a single-vineyard estate situated in Blewitt Springs, at the northern edge of the McLaren Vale region, South Australia.

The remaining 80 hectares are preserved for native vegetation and wildlife and is intended to enhance the symbiotic relationship between the vines and their natural environment.
