Yangarra Estate is a biodynamic wine producer based in South Australia's McLaren Vale region. 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.
Following in the footsteps of hugely popular recent vintages of this wine, the 2023 Yangarra McLaren Vale Shiraz is another impressive red wine offering. The palate offers plenty of blueberries, dark fruits and dark chocolate flavours with well measured oak and subtle spice. Ready to be enjoyed now this is likely to only improve with a few years in the cellar.
"93+ Points. As usual, from six blocks across the estate, with half from sandier soils and half more influenced by ironstone. There’s also 4% viognier in the mix. The inclusion is not unusual, but a slightly higher proportion warranted disclosure. It’s a co-ferment, so the integration is seamless. There’s a certain suave ease to this, both in fragrance and calm glide across the palate, though it sits in a mid-weight zone. Ripe red fruits more than black, warm spices, a trace of hardy herbs, the ferrous influence discreet. It’s a charming wine, undemanding in all the right ways, and, while ready to go, it should drink well over the next five years or so."- Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion.
