Grenache and Blend Wine of the Year - James Halliday Wine Companion Awards 2024

Yangarra Estate is a biodynamic wine farm in the McLaren Vale region in South Australia. 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.

The Old Vine Grenache is a complex, perfumed and elegant wine with a trademark tannin structure.

Ex 1946 Blewitt Springs bush vines planted in a deep sandy dune that Yangarra call The Beach; dry-grown, bunch-sorted, wild yeast, open fermented and basket pressed. Bright clear though deep crimson hue; scented/perfumed, and I'm gone for all money without even tasting it. And I haven't fooled myself. Except why on earth is it only $45? Its red fruit sundae glistens with dew drops on a spider's web, yet also has a savoury echo towards the finish. Date: Sept 2022; Price: $45.00; Alcohol: 14.5%; Drink by: 2041; Rating: 99 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

From 17 hectares of unirrigated bush vine Grenache, planted in 1946. Juicy raspberry and cherry, aniseed, with a stony ferrous edge, dried flowers and chamomile. Medium-bodied, red fruits with a sappy and savoury edge, tannin is firm and stony, plenty of red berry flavour, though keeps itself pretty neat, with supple grip on a very long and bright finish. Tannin is a highlight. Kind of jubey as at now, though its future feels assured. Excellent. Price: $45; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: 2023-2031+; Rated: 95 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front
