Yangarra Shiraz 2020

From the old-world Rhône Syrah to the South Australian red sweetheart, Shiraz evolves once again in the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs. Sourced from six unique blocks over 47 hectares on our elevated site, the elegant Yangarra Shiraz is shaped by its connection to the sand and ironstone soils that overlie the ancient North Maslin Sands geological formation beneath. Prepare for the unexpected.

Sourced from six blocks within the estate. Approximately 50% on sand, 50% on ironstone. Picked between the 4th and 26th of March. Destemmed and selectively sorted. 50% whole berries. Wild yeast ferment. Open fermenters and on skins for up to 20 days. A gentle maceration principle of wetting the cap and only draining and returning when reductive. No pressings are used in this wine. Ѐlevage on lees in 1 to 3 year French oak puncheons for 7 months. Then blended to older 45hL foudre for a further 7 months. Bottled September 2021.
