Sleek and silky, this Yangarra Estate Old Vine Grenache carries itself with composure and dancy feet.
From the driest McLaren Vale vintage on record, the fruit was sourced from Yangarra's certified organic and biodynamic bush vines planted in 1946. Wild yeast fermented in separate parcels with a 50/50 mix of crushed and whole berries and matured in Austrian and French oak, ceramic egg and amphora. A medium-bodied Grenache, it has a juicy mid-palate where berry fruits pops with energy and vibrancy. An attractive violet and blue flower perfume drifts from the glass, while a subtle lick of charcuterie-like meatiness adds depth and intrigue. A flowing sheet of spice sways gracefully throughout - yes! Each sip feels effortless. Love it. Bravo.
