Yangarra Estate Mourvedre Biodynamic

Region

McLaren Vale, South Australia, Australia

Vintage:

2015

Producer:

Yangarra

Grapes:

Mourvedre/Monastrell

Wine Description:

Mouvedre works well in Australia and this is delicious. Lush bramble fruit with savoury, gamey notes.

Tasting Note:

Yes, it has a nose of crushed mineral, very gently eucalypt and possibly even star anise which sounds too much but together is absolutely lovely. It’s really brilliantly balanced, bright and lifted, elegant, perfumed stuff. With woodland understory and slightly graphite, pencil-lead in expression this is, synaesthesically, like drinking a drawing of this wine.


Vegetarian, Vegan, Organic, Biodynamic

Food Suggestion:

Pairs well with hearty roast meats and rich vegetable dishes.

Producer Description

The Med meets McClaren Vale at Yangarra where single-estate Mediterranean varieties planted as far back as 1946 are grown in a traditional bush-vine style. The Blewitt Springs sub region of McLaren Vale, South Australia, is home to Yangarra Estate - 250 acres of vines in 35 individual blocks spread amongst 420 acres of creeks, native vegetation and nature corridors. It's here in their state-of-the-art winery that 'Australian Winemaker of the Year 2016', Pete Fraser, crafts his elegant wines full of concentration, complexity and texture.

Yangarra is an aboriginal word meaning ‘from the earth’ and Yangarra Estate is devoted to producing wines from the best grape varieties of the southern Rhone, and its combination of rare geologies, moderate altitude, abundant sunshine and cool evening breezes make it perfect for growing varieties that thrive in these moderate maritime environments. Customers and critics alike love these wines.
