Yangarra Estate Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2016
Yangarra Estate

Their Ironheart Shiraz is as good as any McLaren Vale Shiraz you'll come across and their minute production (think 160 cases only) of the High Sands Grenache is a remarkable rendition of old, old vine grenache. Their portfolio is incredibly strong from their entry levels through to the icons. If you haven't yet been introduced to their wines, you're in for a very nice surprise.
Congratulations to Peter Fraser who was named Winemaker of the Year in the 2016 Wine Companion!

A careful blend of 68% Grenache, 26% Shiraz and 6% Mourvèdre - beautifully conveys the traditional estate blends of the southern Rhone. The backbone of the wine comes from old bush vine Grenache planted in 1946.
"A bright and fragrant aroma, with spicy red and blue fruits. The blending of these three varieties is an equal mix of sharp precision as much as sensuality. Its fruit is bright, shiny and fresh, showing that silky sheen of the Grenache, yet below are more brooding layers which will unfold over the next decade. Without upsetting this harmonious balance, the Shiraz and Mourvèdre will gradually emerge." - Peter Fraser, winemaker.
