2015 Yangarra Estate Mourvedre Biodynamic, McLaren Vale

A very bright and spicy style of Mourvedre, this wine is quite perfumed. It has slight hints of the trademark Mourvedre green peppercorn, and tight grippy tannins on the palate.” Peter Fraser, winemaker.

100% Mourvedre Cold soaked 5-6 days, wild yeast fermented, 9 months maturation in 100% older French oak on yeast lees, no fining just filtration.

Mourvèdre is a thick-skinned, late-ripening variety that requires consider-able sunshine to ripen. Our Mourvèdre lies on a small west-facing block on sandy, ironstone gravel soils and has a soldier-like upright growth. It’s the last variety to ripen on our estate. Most of the Mourvèdre goes into our GSM blend each year, however, when we have exceptional lots, we will make a limited quantity for a single-varietal bottling.
