[SOLD-OUT] Yangarra High Sands Grenache 2020

 

"From the 1.7ha Block 31, the highest section of the 1946 bush vines. 50% whole berries, wild yeast open-fermented; matured in a foudre and ceramic eggs for 11 months. Truly great wines add something new on each taste; here, there’s an ethereal, otherworldly purity to the lingering finish and aftertaste." - James Halliday 

 

"Medium crimson. Dried roses, strawberry apricot nectarine aromas with hints of sesame, roasted walnut. Beautiful strawberry apricot, hint raspberry pastille flavours, fine loose knit chalky tannins with al dente textures and beautiful quartz-like acidity finishing with a feathery plume. Very minerally with lovely fruit complexity and torque." - Andrew Caillard

 

"Perfume, spiced biscuit, strawberry and raspberry, almond meal, a little menthol. Medium-bodied, beautiful structure here, so fine-boned with graphite tannin, almond and raspberry, and don’t mind me, but maybe a little venison and juniper berry thing happening, which adds a layer of complexity, and a fresh red fruited finish that goes very long. And the tannin that closes it out is really something. Superb." - Wine Front

 

"Sourced exclusively from our special Block 31 at 210m elevation. Extremely low yields. Hand-picked and mechanically sorted. Destemmed, 50% whole berries and remaining crushed. Cold soak. Open fermenters with a long gentle maceration for a minimum of 21 days. Wild yeast ferment. No pressings are used in this wine. Matured on lees in older large Format French oak and sandstone egg for 11 months." - Yangarra
