Description

The combination of Yangarra’s rare iron-laden geology, a rock star winemaker and old Shiraz vines make this wine a show stopper. Every critic on Earth agrees that the Shiraz from this estate is uncommonly, wildly good. Black currant, smoked meat, autumn leaves and cracked pepper flood through the wine, culminating in an endless loop of a savory, walnut-laden palate that promises everything a great Shiraz should: huge depth and immense satisfaction.

This red wine is made entirely from the Shiraz varietal and shows floral aromas with black fruit and pepper. Flavors of black fruits, cocoa nibs and smooth tannins make this wine complex and full bodied.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Hand-picked, wild yeast open-fermented with 25% whole bunches, matured for 15 months in French oak (40% new). A distilled essence of shiraz from two blocks within a single estate vineyard. It's in no way overdone, but it does have some of the authoritarian stance of top flight cabernet. The black fruits speak in one voice of the ironstone soil in which the vines are planted. Great vintage, great wine.
