Yangarra Estate Shiraz 2020 750ml

Yangarra Estate Shiraz 2020 is a refined Australian red wine from the elevated Blewitt Springs area of McLaren Vale, South Australia. Made from Shiraz sourced from Yangarra Estate's vineyard, the wine presents a savoury and medium-weight expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz, balancing dark fruit richness with freshness, spice and fine-grained tannins.

The 2020 vintage showcases a more restrained and savoury character, with dark plum and blueberry fruit complemented by liquorice, fennel, clove, black pepper and subtle dried-meat nuances. Fresh natural acidity gives the wine energy, while carefully managed tannins provide structure and length.

The Shiraz is sourced from multiple blocks across the Yangarra estate. A portion of whole bunches and whole berries contributes aromatic lift and texture, while wild fermentation and French oak maturation help develop the wine's layered, savoury personality.
